In a significant boost to his 2027 governorship aspirations, Lagos State Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has received the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu, solidifying his position within the All Progressives Congress (APC). This endorsement comes just a day after the Governance Advisory Council backed Hamzat's candidacy, underscoring a united front within the party as it prepares for the upcoming elections.
Hamzat, who has been a key figure in Lagos politics, expressed confidence in his campaign, stating, "With the support of our party and the leadership of President Tinubu, I am committed to continuing the transformative agenda for Lagos." His ambition aligns with Tinubu's legacy, as both leaders share a vision for sustained development in the state.
As the political landscape evolves, Hamzat's endorsement signals a strategic move by the APC to maintain its dominance in Lagos. Observers will be keenly watching how this support translates into grassroots mobilization and voter engagement as the 2027 elections approach, shaping the future of governance in Nigeria's commercial capital.
