Lagos guber: Seyi Tinubu, Gbajabiamila, Alausa, Obasa, others top list as search begins
The race to succeed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in 2027 is gradually gaining momentum, with political stakeholders and groups across Lagos State already rooting for their preferred candidates.
Among those generating buzz is Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
A growing number of party faithful and influential figures are backing him, with popular Nollywood actor and lawmaker, Desmond Elliot, reportedly leading a ‘silent’ push for Gbajabiamila to emerge as the APC flagbearer in the next gubernatorial election
Supporters are said to be banking on his close ties to the President and long-standing political experience, which they believe make him a strong contender.
“Gbajabiamila is not just a seasoned legislator. Now as Chief of Staff to the President, he has added executive experience.
“That’s the kind of leadership Lagos needs,” said Famous Oloyede, an APC chieftain from Surulere
