A son of former Senator Mudashiru Oyetunde Husain and a governorship aspirant in Osun State, Tunde Adeniyi Husain, has charged the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu, to consider joining the Lagos 2027 governorship race, describing him as a “transformative young leader shaping the nation’s future”.
Husain’s charge came while adding his voice to the chorus of well-wishers on Seyi Tinubu’s 40th birthday for having distinguished himself as a noble son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a leading advocate for youth empowerment, who continues to attract admiration across Nigeria for his growing influence and commitment to national development.
In a deep-worded birthday message, Tunde Husain lauded Seyi Tinubu’s uncommon humility, leadership vision, and dedication to advancing opportunities for the younger generation, reiterating that in a country faced with unemployment, insecurity, and economic challenges, Seyi Tinubu’s life stands out as a testament to how privilege can be transformed into purpose-driven service.
“Seyi Tinubu has redefined what it means to lead with empathy and vision. He does not see himself merely as the son of the President, but as a citizen with a duty to empower others. This is why, before 40, he has already become an exemplar of youth-driven innovation and progress, which is a reminder that greatness is measured by impact, not inheritance,” Husain remarked.
Husain, who commended Seyi Tinubu’s ongoing mentorship, philanthropic projects, and community interventions, also described him as the “King of Boys,” a phrase popular among young Nigerians who view him as a model of how influence should be used for societal good. According to him, Seyi’s quiet but effective work in supporting startups, creative talents, and social initiatives has made him a pillar of hope for the next generation.
In an inspiring charge, Tunde Husain urged Seyi Tinubu to “consider stepping forward to lead Lagos” in the 2027 governorship election, stating that the youth population is yearning for his kind of leadership, grounded in compassion, innovation, and vision.
“Nigeria needs young leaders like Seyi Tinubu who understand the struggles of our generation and have the network, intellect, and passion to drive inclusive growth, because his story is a blend of influence and responsibility”, he added.
Tunde Husain, a visionary youth leader and a passionate advocate of progressive politics, is the son of Senator Mudashiru Oyetunde Husain, a respected figure in Osun’s political landscape, former member of the House of Representatives, Oshodi /Isolo constituency 1 (1999–2007), and Senator representing Osun West (2011–2015). The younger Husain’s tribute reflects not only admiration for Seyi Tinubu’s achievements but also a call for deeper youth involvement in Nigeria’s governance as the nation embraces the Renewed Hope vision of President Tinubu’s administration.
