What was the outcome of his eight years of reign? Shouldn't that serve as an example that responsibilities should only be given to those who are prepared for it? Good governance isn't achieved by wishes as can be seen in the current day Nigeria.

All it takes is the courage to come out, if Seyi Tinubu throws his hat in the ring, he will win with a landslide victory?

Na so them doubt em papa, The Tinubus, like the Trumps, Clintons, they never say no to power.

Papa former Senator, & Governor, now President, Mama former Senator, pikin future Governor.

Tinubu no be small name for Lagos State o, even before the emergence of Bola Tinubu aka Jagaban 1 of The Universe.

It is a dynasty in the progression of time.

That should not be your concern.. Lagos State is a Yoruba State and only Yorubas should worry about who will govern them.

is seyi tinubu fit to govern lagos?

Lagos State is a full Yoruba State my dear friend and that's the reason the Lagos State Government now translate all Lagos laws into Yoruba language..
That you travelled long distance to live or work in Lagos is only temporary, it can't change the history, culture and tradition of Lagos State which are permanent.

babasolution:
Essentially saying no place for youths in top echelons of politics in Nigeria.

Very demonic souls

If he said Seyi is eligible, una go say family nepotism. Now he's saying no be so. You talk say na no youth in govt. Why are you confused like this?

If he wins, we all know it is not about good name but rigging. He doesn't have the slightest weight whatsoever to win governorship of Lagos. Nigerians have being mortgaging the future of the unborn generation since time immemorial due to the culture where some have being made to believe they are slaves and inferior to others. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if out of the usual greed people vote for such a person because of a day dinner. The most impressive part is when this folks talk about Esau in a derogatory manner forgetting that Esau was ignorant and this generation that should know better just decided to be stupid.

Like you have a choice if we choose to support him. Biko go and sempe ...No basis for your assumptions ...na man you dey call boy ... boys wey dey they run countries in other climes.

....to which state? I hope you don't mean South East.

Morenikeji090:
Keep talking rubbish we go soon beat you commot for Lagos state and go back to your state or region soonest..

This is the problem. This Igbo ppl won’t mind their business. Who are you to tell us who should be our governor? You are feeling to comfortable in Lagos right ? Don’t worry we will open your book soon.

He should say no be so based on character or past antecedents not age.How can he say a man in his 40ties is a boy n not fit to be a governor

I hear you guy, they understand Yoruba & speak it better than u so called wanderer from The South West of Nigeria.

I just happened to come into access of my late old boys property with the survey in Orile-Iganmu with a survey plan number of 1977, of the 12 plots in the survey of who the owners were, 10 of them, including the individual number 1l that sold to my pops were igbo.

Guy go rest, Eko Oni Baje, Lagos na Lagos.

You wan tell person wey done get land for Lagos State before them born u, say they no be Lagosians?

Just like Seyi Tinubu, Igbo is well qualified to be Governor of Lagos State, if they so choose.

I don't care about seyi and Lagos, the Yorubas have already sold their birthright to tinubu, he can do as he pleases in LAGOS, my concern is the subtle discouragement of youths in politics by these old demons

I can tell you 100 possible reasons for that.. before now, Yorubas weren't alive to their responsibilities of preserving our heritage for future Yoruba generations but all that has now changed.

Lagos being a former Capital of Nigeria gave Igbos the impetus to be scheming to usurp the Yoruba political structure of Lagos so they can take over Lagos politics but they failed. Nnamdi Azikiwe an Igbo man that has no ties or business with Yorubaland was in Ibadan fighting to become leader of Yorubas as far back as 60s' before Civil war happened and all their plans buried with their dead.

Even at independence, Igbos were still showing land grabbing traits and it was evident with the first ever Military coup in 15 January, 1966 that killed leaders of all other ethnic groups except Igbos.
Your old man probably bought land from those Igbos selling off properties they bought from early Yoruba liberals (Igbos don't sell lands in South East to outsiders but Yorubas have been selling anything sellable) due to relocation to alaigbo.

In case you don't know.. Lagos State is actually called "Ilu Eko" in Yoruba language, the centre of excellence and commercial nerve centre of Nigeria.
Yorubas have eveything others are jealous of.

Seyi calls Joe Igbokwe a Tinubu loyalist Uncle, he has known him since he was a kid from Ikoyi, only just as of recent Uncle never see alert from family.

Guy you are talking nonsense, & ignorance is never an excuse, Lagos before it became a State was never part of Western Nigeria, Yoruba Land ended on the outskirts with the capital in Ibadan.

It was the British that seized Lagos from the Oba of Benin, & made it a colony in 1861, then handed it over 99 years after in 1960 to The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

You're the one talking nonsense.. Lagos State was part and parcel of the Western Region despite a tiny fraction of Lagos serving as the Federal Capital.. Ikeja, Apapa and a whole lot of them were Industrial layouts and avenue for the Western region government till the coup of 1996 that brought Aguiyi Ironsi into power who abolished regional system of government.
You must be a kid to be making such false claims.

Even the ones claiming that they are the true Lagosians never rule the state, it is outsiders with similar names that have been ruling them.

People will always want to claim a prosperous place for themselves, why not praise Ogbomosho, Ibadan, or any civilized place of old Western Nigeria, it is always Yoruba get Lagos?

Guy without Igbo, no Lagos State, Guy u no get property for Lagos State, say u get, u wouldn’t be this naive minded.

You lie again.. without Lagos State and Yorubas, no Igbos.
This is the reasons Igbos can't stay off Yorubaland.

Stop trying to use reverse psychology.. If Yorubas ask you to leave today, all your igwes and ezes in alaigbo will come all the way to beg.

Leave to go where? Like I said earlier it is because you never buy land for anywhere for The Federal Republic of Nigeria, hence you can afford to imagine ignorantly.

All the land wey Elegushi, Oniru, Animashaun, Akerele, Ojora, Tejuosho, Amore Family sell, how much enter your pocket?

Na our own indeed.

So an IPOB goat is now telling us who should be the governor of Lagos State?

Morenikeji090:

Joe Igbokwe is actually right in my opinion. After Tinubu's tenure as Lagos State Governor, subsequent Governors were either former cabinet member (appointed) , or civil servants that have served and have the experience of how the administration of Lagos state works.
Seyi Tinubu has not acted in the above capacity, hence he isn't well qualified to govern Lagos State . once again Joe Igbokwe is right (in my own opinion)

Ayoefa:
People just speculation for sake of speculation and attention.
Seyi is not running for Governor and if he decides to run, he will lose. End of story.
Stop wasting time and energy on rumors and innuendos.
He has no qualifications to run for Governor of Lagos.

Exactly 💯👍

YoungLionken:
The Igbos can never mind their business, can they? And you begin to wonder why people always have a problem with them. How would Seyi feel now (especially towards Igbos) hearing this kind of news ? Tomorrow now, he would become governor of Lagos and start anti-Igbo policies, you Igbos would see a good excuse to cry victim ! The Hausa/Fulani/Ijaw/Edo/Calabar/Yoruba's, etc didn't see Seyi as a wrong choice (even though we all know this), but somehow, an Igbo man thinks he should be the one to voice it out..

Life na brain brain...

Who is calling Joe Igbokwe an Igbo man? Igbos have long dashed that man to Yorubas. So the man's opinion is not derived from Igbo but Yoruba world view .
