In a statement issued by its President General, Comrade Goodluck Ibem, the group said the endorsement was not simply a political move but a “divine call to leadership.”
Ibem stressed that Seyi Tinubu possesses the essential qualities required to guide Lagos to greater heights.
Qualities of a leader
According to Ibem, Seyi Tinubu’s experience, integrity, and vision make him a formidable choice for the state’s top job.
He pointed to Seyi’s track record in leadership, his dedication to public service, and his ability to drive community development as key strengths.
The youth coalition also highlighted Seyi’s inclusive approach to leadership, noting that he has consistently shown the capacity to unite people from diverse backgrounds and promote collaboration.
CONYL further recalled comments by Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, who maintained that Seyi’s leadership qualities stand on their own merit, beyond his family background.
Call for support
The coalition urged stakeholders, organisations, and citizens of Lagos State to rally behind Seyi Tinubu as he prepares for the 2027 contest.
They noted that his vision for Lagos includes economic growth, infrastructure development, education reforms, and social welfare programmes, aligning with the aspirations of young people and residents across the state.
Describing the endorsement as a defining moment in Lagos history, CONYL called on all citizens to embrace unity in order to build a future founded on equity, prosperity, and sustainability.
