Isaac Balami, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), says he will support Seyi Tinubu, son of the president, if he decides to pursue a gubernatorial bid in Lagos state.
Reports suggest that Tinubu’s son may be considering a Lagos governorship bid, but he is yet to make any formal declaration.
Balami said it is time to stop the system where old people govern the people of Lagos.
“If Seyi Tinubu agrees to run in the next Lagos governorship election, I will come all out with my army of youths supporters to support him because as a young man I had suffered a serious blow in the past years because they saw that I was young and ambitious,” he said.
“This is the time to change the practice of gerontocracy for the good of Lagosians.
“There is no doubt that young people are taking over economically and politically. Historically, good governance is associated with young people who are in leadership positions,” he added.
