Seyi Tinubu Not Taking VP’s Duties — Group

An Atlanta, United States based group, The Future Platform, has debunked insinuations in Nigeria that its endorsed candidate for the Lagos 2027 governorship elections, Mr Seyi Tinubu has usurped the responsibilities of Vice President Kashim Shettima.

The group instead stated that Seyi Tinubu has rather continued with his charitable activities across the country targeting the needy and poor in Nigeria, stressing that such magnanimity should not be misunderstood.

The Diaspora group based Atlanta, Georgia through its Director of Publicity, Afolabi Adeusi in a media engagement on Wednesday also said its proposed ‘All-White Endorsement’ originally set for March 4, 2025, has also been rescheduled to April 12, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Vouching for Mr Tinubu’s capacity to run affairs of Lagos when elected Governor in 2027, the group maintained that, “As Nigeria’s political landscape gears up for 2027, The Future Platform in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, has identified Seyi Tinubu as a promising leader. In recognition of his leadership qualities, the group has finalised plans for an All-White Endorsement Event to support his potential candidacy for the Lagos State gubernatorial race in 2027, by God’s grace.”

Adeusi continued, “Amid growing criticism in Nigeria suggesting that his charitable work is an attempt to assume the responsibilities of the Vice President of Nigeria, we want to state clearly that such a claim is entirely false.

“Seyi Tinubu remains committed to his long-standing passion for humanitarian service for over two decades, even before his father became President, he has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to uplifting the less privileged.

“A visionary and an exceptional leader, Seyi Tinubu is determined to build a strong and inclusive society, transcending linguistic and ethnic differences.

“As Nigeria’s political landscape gears up for 2027, “The Future Platform” In Atlanta, Georgia, USA, has identified Seyi Tinubu as a promising leader.

“Seyi Tinubu is the ideal candidate for the job, his role as a bridge builder, commitment to driving Lagos State to greater heights through community service, social development, and disaster relief efforts are legendary .

“Seyi Tinubu is the game changer for Lagos state and we have absolute confidence in his ability,” Adeusi said.
