The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that Seyi Tinubu can challenge his father, the president, in the 2027 general election.

This is even as Bwala stressed that Seyi is qualified to contest for any political office in Nigeria, including the governorship of Lagos State.

He maintained that the president’s son has built a reputation for himself as a bridge-builder 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.
