A source close to Seyi Tinubu has disclosed that the son of President Bola Tinubu has no interest in becoming the next governor of the state, reports Politics Nigeria.

The 39-year-old has been touted as a leading aspirant and has garnered series of endorsements from different groups.

The endorsements have placed him as a serious contender in the next gubernatorial race in 2027.
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.
