📰 Title: “Power Play in Lagos: Why Tinubu Wants Sanwo-Olu Out — And What It Means for 2027”
Lagos is burning — not with flames, but with whispers.
In the corridors of power, silence is louder than speeches.
And at the center of the storm stands two giants:
One, the Kingmaker turned President.
The other, the Governor walking on shifting ground.
In this explosive edition of “Talking Politics and Other Issues with Dotun Oladipo,” the Managing Editor of The Eagle Online peels back the curtain on the latest drama rocking the ruling party: President Bola Tinubu has reportedly demanded the resignation of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Yes, you read that right.
The very man he once backed with thunderous support, the one who carried APC’s torch through the megacity’s crowded streets — now asked to step aside.
But why? What triggered the fallout? What secrets lie behind the smiles at state functions?
Sources point to deep-rooted divisions, unmet expectations, and internal battles that have quietly festered within the Lagos APC, now boiling over into public spectacle.
And the timing? Impeccably loaded.
2027 is no longer distant. It is approaching like a gathering storm.
For Tinubu, it’s not just about Lagos. It’s about legacy.
A second term. A stronger grip. A clean slate.
Any weakness at home could echo all the way to the national throne.
Oladipo dives deep — not just into the headlines, but into the strategy:
Could this be a chess move to realign loyalists?
Is Sanwo-Olu the scapegoat or the stumbling block?
And what does this mean for the future of APC in Lagos, Nigeria’s political crown jewel?
This isn’t just politics.
This is betrayal laced with ambition.
This is a slow dance between loyalty and legacy, where one wrong step could end a career… or a presidency.
💬 Now we ask you —
Is Sanwo-Olu being sacrificed for 2027 calculations?
Should the APC fix its cracks quietly or brace for public collapse?
And does this signal strength… or desperation from the top?
Your thoughts matter.
Let’s talk. 👇
