The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on New Media, Jubril Gawat, has debunked speculation that he is making plans to vie for the 2027 gubernatorial poll in Abia or Anambra States.
Gawat’s 2027 governorship campaign posters have flooded the internet, fueling rumours of his ambition to seek gubernatorial office under the Labour Party.
In his response, Gawat refuted the claim that he would be seeking governorship position of any state.
Posting on X, he gave assurance of his commitment to the development of Lagos State.
He wrote: “Good evening everyone, Thanks for Sharing my impromptu photo that dropped earlier today, I appreciate. I also wish to clarify that I am NOT vying for any position in Abia or Anambra State or anywhere, either by ‘Residency or Indigeneship’. The progress of every state is important to me, most especially Lagos State.
“I know it was just cruise but it is equally important to debunk the false information. IGBEGA ILU EKO… AJUMOSE NI, ITESIWAJU ILU ABIA LO JE WA LOGUN. Nigeria o ni baje o.”
