“Seyi Tinubu has no ambition to become governor now or in future” – Inside sources

Sources close to Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, have revealed that the 39-year-old businessman has no interest in becoming the next Lagos state governor.

The younger Tinubu had been quiet over his rumoured 2027 ambition until there was a series of endorsements from different groups.

This signalled that he may be a serious contender in the next gubernatorial race in Nigeria’s commercial capital.

However, a source revealed that he has not disclosed this aspiration to anyone.

Another source hinted that there is no iota of truth in the story as the younger Tinubu is not nursing any governorship ambition.

The source revealed further that this is the usual story every four years, frequently cooked and spread by some elements for their selfish reasons.

“Seyi Tinubu is a businessman and has no ambition whatsoever to become Lagos State governor now or in the nearest future. In the past, he has splashed several millions of naira on charity and the less privileged.

“Contrary to the thinking in some quarters that his philanthropic gesture over time is politically motivated, it is not true. It is his own humble way of appreciating God for His mercies in his life.

“He is naturally a man given to giving. He doesn’t need to be involved in such acts to gain relevance, politically. Truth be told, Seyi’s love for humanity knows no bounds, and he spares no expense to translate this in several ways,” the source told ThisDay.
