The Coalition for the Promotion of Young African Leaders has endorsed Seyi Tinubu as the suitable choice to succeed Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the next governor of Lagos State in 2027.
While addressing journalists in Lagos, the National President of the Coalition, Oluwasegun Thompson, and its National Secretary, Ayofemi Badmus, said Seyi has the capacity, capability, and competence to wear the big shoes and be in the saddle as the governor of the state.
They said: “Having watched carefully the antecedents and positive footprints of Mr. Seyi Tinubu, and his distinctive leadership style, coupled with his pragmatic innovative initiatives and political sagacity, we are left with no iota of doubt of his capacity, capability, and competence to wear the big shoes and be in the saddle as the Executive Governor of Lagos State after the tenure of His Excellency Sanwo-Olu, precisely come 2027.
“We say this considering certain fundamentally incontrovertible and distinguishing factors. Power is defined by Max Weber as the chance of a man or several men to realise their own will in a communal action even against the resistance of others who are participating in the same action.
“The import of this definition, which is widely accepted the world over, is that for any power play, there must be the existence of men who are aware of an action which has to be taken collectively and who are equally ready to ensure that their will prevails against the will of others who are equally interested in that action.
“We, the Coalition for the Promotion of Young African Leaders, are therefore essentially ready to take charge and control against mitigating factors and resistance, while being tolerant and enhancing social interaction, and expanding the frontiers of social interactionism and deliberate discourse.
“As part of our several noble and patriotic intentions, we have invited you, distinguished members of the Fourth Estate of the Realm, mainly to articulate why Mr. Seyi Tinubu remains the most suitable candidate for the Governorship of Lagos State after His Excellency, Sanwo-Olu.
“Mr. Seyi Tinubu possesses active political power and a sufficient war chest to prosecute the intention of becoming the Executive Governor of Lagos State.
“He also possesses the necessary political might and social charisma. He is also a man full of empathy and supportive compassion, as demonstrated by several acts of benevolence, practical kindness, and magnanimity.
“It is impossible to itemise or even outline the several projects, programmes, and interventions of this humble, God-fearing and people-oriented goal-getter in such a short space of time. We are, however, compelled to mention his intervention for prison inmates at Ikoyi Correctional Facility and several other facilities in and around Lagos State.
“He supports several youths and youth programmes in Lagos State and beyond among others. Even as the son of the President, Seyi is intrinsically humble, God-fearing, articulate, unassuming, a grassroots mobiliser, philanthropist, and accountable.
“His dedication to service and eventful and passionate lifestyle have revealed a person whose joy, passion, and inner happiness stem from service to humanity and enhancing monumental imprints on the lives of his fellow men.
“Presently, his life is a demonstration of an accomplished leader, humane administrator, and an amazingly simple-minded person, greatly loved by all who come across him, cherished by friends, and adored by his colleagues.”
According to the group, Seyi’s interest is to change the narratives, infuse life and love into the socio-political and economic well-being of the common man in the state.
