BREAKING: Another Powerful Minister to Resign From Tinubu’s Cabinet; Reason Emerges

There are indications that the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, may soon step down from his position in order to pursue his alleged governorship ambition in Lagos State ahead of the next election cycle.

A source familiar with the development told our correspondent that consultations are already underway, with close political allies reportedly encouraging the minister to formally declare his interest in the Lagos governorship race.

According to the source, Dr. Alausa is said to be weighing the political implications of remaining in the Federal Executive Council while nurturing a state-level ambition. “It is likely he may resign to fully concentrate on the Lagos project,” the source disclosed, adding that timing would depend on internal party dynamics and broader political calculations.

Although the minister has not publicly declared his intention to run, recent movements and high-level meetings in Lagos have fueled speculation about his possible entry into the race.

Political observers note that Lagos State remains a strategic stronghold in national politics, making any potential contest highly competitive within the ruling party structure. Analysts say if Dr. Alausa decides to resign, it would signal a formal step into what is expected to be a keenly contested governorship battle.

Efforts to obtain an official reaction from the minister’s office were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

As the political atmosphere gradually heats up, attention now turns to whether the Education Minister will make his intentions public in the coming weeks.
