Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has stated that Seyi Tinubu is eligible to challenge his father in the 2027 general election if he chooses to do so.
Bwala emphasized that Seyi is constitutionally qualified to run for any political office in Nigeria, including the governorship of Lagos State.
He added that the president’s son has established himself as a bridge-builder and influential figure among the youth.
The presidential spokesman made the assertion in an interview on The Clarity Zone podcast posted on YouTube on Wednesday, while dismissing claims that Seyi’s political involvement is linked only to his father’s influence.
“If Seyi Tinubu’s father is the president, what stops him from running for Lagos State governor? Seyi Tinubu can even challenge his father in the next election,” Bwala said.
Bwala opined that Nigerians should judge Seyi based on personal experience away from inherited perceptions, describing the president’s son as humble and unassuming despite his privileged background.
