Breaking: In what appears to be a calculated political move ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has thrown his weight behind Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the Lagos State governorship race.
The dramatic endorsement unfolded during a high-profile Lagos social event, where MC Oluomo was seen dancing energetically to live Fuji music. The moment that turned heads was when the Fuji artist, while performing, began to sing lyrics that hinted at Seyi Tinubu’s ambition to become the next governor of Lagos State in 2027.Seyi lo ma jọba ni 2027 (Seyi will rule in 2027), the Fuji singer chanted.
MC Oluomo’s beaming reaction and rhythmic dance steps appeared to confirm his endorsement of the message, setting off a wave of reactions both at the event and online.Social media users have since erupted with mixed responses, with some accusing MC Oluomo of promoting godfatherism and others praising him for loyalty to the Tinubu political dynasty.A netizen reacted, “MC knows what he will benefit from him, so politics is a big company in Nigeria now.
Another wrote, “Nigeria is gradually becoming a family-run affair. Can’t Lagosians decide their future independently? This incident has now sparked debates about political succession in Lagos State, particularly regarding the influence of powerful political families. Although Seyi Tinubu has not officially declared any political ambition, his growing public profile and appearances at political events have kept tongues wagging.
Critics are questioning whether Lagosians will have a true democratic choice in 2027, or whether the groundwork for succession is already being laid behind the scenes. Supporters, however, argue that Seyi Tinubu has the pedigree and exposure to lead the state.
MC Oluomo, known for his strong grassroots influence and loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), has not released an official statement but sources close to him say the endorsement was “intentional and strategic. All eyes will now be on the ruling APC and how it manages internal zoning arrangements, especially with younger players beginning to emerge on the political chessboard.
