According to him, Seyi is a well-trained and committed individual with a proven track record of helping young people long before his father became president.
While rumours about Seyi’s candidacy began circulating in 2024, particularly after the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL) and other groups endorsed him for the governorship, Olawande clarified that Seyi is not directly involved in the campaign.
“Seyi is not the one engineering the campaign to become the next governor of Lagos State,” he added.
