2027: Seyi Tinubu becoming Lagos governor not crime — CONYL

The Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL), the umbrella body of all the youth groups drawn across the six geopolitical zones has insisted that it is not a crime for Seyi Tinubu to be elected as Governor of Lagos come 2027.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Owerri by the President General of COSYL Comrade Goodluck Ibem he said that Seyi Tinubu as a true citizen of Nigeria has a right to vote and be voted for.

According to him, Seyi’s right to contest elections can not be denied simply because his father was a former governor of the state insisting that Seyi has right to his personal life as it is enshrined in our constitution.

The Youth body said that Seyi called by Nigerian youths for him to contest for the office of the governor of Lagos State come 2027 is a divine call and a responsibility on his shoulder which he cannot shy away from It is a call to duty which he is mandated to answer.

He said Pastors and General Overseers of Churches and ministries on retirement hands over their church or ministry to their son or children.

He said it beats our imagination that some people are of the opinion that an ebullient, articulate and very intelligent young man like Chief Seyi Tinubu should be denied an opportunity to be Governor of Lagos State even when he has shown undeniable capacity to lead.

The group called on all lovers of democracy to rally round Chief Seyi Tinubu who is very prepared, equipped and ready to take Lagos State to an enviable height come 2027.

They also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who believes in democracy and has always listened to the yearnings of Nigerians to please heed to the call by Nigerians and Lagosians by giving his blessings for Chief Seyi Tinubu to contest for the office of the Governor of Lagos State come 2027.
