With the 2027 Lagos governorship election fast approaching, the race is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about in years. At the forefront of the conversation are two heavyweights: Tokunbo Abiru, the financial expert turned politician, and Akinwunmi Ambode, the former governor whose legacy is still fresh in the minds of Lagosians.
While both candidates have their share of supporters, one crucial factor remains largely under the radar: the influence of President Bola Tinubu. As the key political figure in Lagos, Tinubu’s endorsement could prove to be the game-changer in this high-stakes race. Both Abiru and Ambode would undoubtedly benefit from his blessing but only one can secure it. The question on everyone’s lips: who will Tinubu back?
Tokunbo Abiru, the man with a reputation for financial brilliance, is making waves as a politician. From his tenure as Lagos State Commissioner for Finance to his standout role in the banking sector, Abiru’s ability to navigate complex economic challenges has earned him widespread respect.
His crowning achievement? Overseeing Lagos’ historic N80 billion bond issuances, an accomplishment that still stands as a testament to his leadership and financial savvy. As the race continues to unfold, it’s clear that Abiru’s expertise might just give him the edge over Ambode in the battle for Lagos’ top job.Tap Here for the Full Story
