<p>Political analysts say a resignation to pursue elective office would be consistent with Nigeria’s electoral laws and long-standing practice, which often require public office holders to step down before participating fully in partisan primaries.</p>
<p>Lagos State remains one of Nigeria’s most strategically important political battlegrounds, given its economic weight and symbolic influence in national politics. The governorship contest is expected to draw high-profile contenders across party lines.</p>
<p>Neither the Federal Ministry of Education nor the Presidency has issued an official statement at the time of publication.</p>
