The Digest:

As the race for Lagos State’s 2027 governorship intensifies, power brokers are weighing a return for former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, potentially deferring Seyi Tinubu’s ambition to 2031

Key Points:
  • Former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is being reconsidered for Lagos’s 2027 governorship.
  • Seyi Tinubu’s ambition may be strategically delayed until 2031 to ensure political stability.
  • The Epe district seeks redress after Ambode was denied a second term in 2019.
  • The Governance Advisory Council (GAC) is central to candidate selection and consensus-building.
  • Several high-profile aspirants, including Femi Gbajabiamila and Jandor, are also in contention.
  • Public sentiment emphasizes governance over pedigree, demanding tangible development.
  • The decision reflects deeper calculations about party unity and electoral viability.
In Lagos politics, timing is more than a schedule; it is a strategy, where today’s pause can shape tomorrow’s power.
