The Minister for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has shown support for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, as a potential candidate for the governorship of Lagos State in 2027.

Speaking on the Mic On podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Olawande described Seyi as a capable and dedicated individual with a history of supporting youth initiatives, even before his father assumed the presidency.

“Seyi is not too young to become a governor,” Olawande stated, adding that Seyi himself was not behind the campaign pushing for his candidacy.

The minister emphasized Seyi’s qualifications and commitment, which have drawn the attention of various groups.

Organizations like the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL) have already thrown their weight behind Seyi, endorsing him as a strong contender for the position. Supporters argue that his leadership skills and influence could bring positive changes to Lagos State.

South Korea’s Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) has officially requested the defense ministry and the presidential security service to cooperate in its ongoing efforts to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol.

In a series of letters sent late Sunday, the CIO emphasized the importance of cooperation from both the defense ministry and the security service.

The letters warned of serious legal consequences if either fails to comply with the investigation.

Specifically, the defense ministry was told that any military personnel obstructing the execution of the arrest or search of the presidential residence could face criminal charges or be held liable for damages.

Similarly, the CIO sent a separate warning to the presidential security service, outlining the potential consequences for security personnel who hinder the investigation.

In addition to possible criminal liability, those obstructing the operation could lose their status as public servants and face restrictions on future employment or pension entitlements.

The CIO also reassured security service employees that they would not face repercussions if they defied illegal orders to block the execution of the arrest warrants.
