Lagos state - A coalition of Lagos Indigenous Youths has told Seyi, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to exercise his governorship ambition in Osun state.

The group vowed to move against non-indigenes planning to contest the 2027 governorship election in Lagos state.

The president of the group, Abdul Kareem Whyte, stated this on Thursday, November 21 while reacting to the endorsement of Seyi for Lagos governor in 2027 by the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL).

As reported by Vanguard, Whyte said there is ‘no vacancy for non-indigenes as Governor 2027’ as the group won’t allow “faceless individuals to deny indigenes of Lagos State right to govern themselves in 2027.”

He alleged that no true blood indigene has governed Lagos state (except one) since 1999.

“We know as a fact that there will soon be a vacancy in Osun State where Mr Seyi Tinubu can best exercise his democratic rights unhindered. And if the people of Owerri in Imo are also interested in benefiting from the experience Mr Seyi Tinubu has acquired in recent times, they can push him to succeed Governor Uzodinma.

“As for us, there is no vacancy for non-indigenes in Lagos State in 2027. The marginalisation is too much and the marginalisation has led to the underdevelopment in the state.”
