The immediate past Head of Service in the state returns to the list of the most talked about politicians on the wings of a familiar “topic”.
For yet another spell, he is being touted as the next Governor of Lagos state.
The talks put him in a very early lead ahead of the 2027 election that would determine the successor to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
This development begins another round of talks, like the previous two occasions that made him a very strong contender in the process that made Sanwo-Olu Governor in 2019 and gave him a second term in 2023.
Sanwo-Olu’s ineligibility to contest for another term – based on constitutional provision – has thrown the race open for those with the clout to seek the number one seat in Lagos state.
Well liked and connected, Muri-Okunola is one of the favored sons of President Bola Tinubu.
