No election is ever really far away in Lagos. Even with two years to go, the 2027 governorship race has already taken on the rhythm of a street carnival.
According to critics, since Lagos politics has always felt less like a chessboard and more like a crowded bus, it is no surprise that everyone is pushing forward and nobody is willing to step back. In such a seemingly chaotic space, is it weird to wonder whether President Bola Tinubu will be the one to decide who takes the driver’s seat?
Already, former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s Support Group is pressing for a comeback. Their volunteers knock on doors, urging voters to dust off their PVCs. To them, Ambode is the man to carry Tinubu’s banner in Lagos, a steady hand to steady the party.
