As Lagos gears up for the 2027 gubernatorial elections, APC deputy governorship candidate Sonayon-James publicly expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his pivotal role in nurturing Nigeria's democracy. During a recent event, Sonayon-James emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among party members, stating, "Together, we will ensure that our vision for Lagos is realized under the leadership of Governor Hamzat."

Tinubu's influence has been instrumental in shaping the APC's strategy as it prepares to defend its dominance in Lagos, a key political stronghold. The party's focus on infrastructure development and economic growth resonates with voters who seek stability and progress. Hamzat's administration, backed by Sonayon-James, aims to build on previous successes while addressing emerging challenges in urban management and social services.

Looking ahead, the APC faces the dual challenge of maintaining its traditional voter base while appealing to younger electorates who demand transparency and innovation. As the election approaches, the dynamics within the party and its leadership will be crucial in determining the outcome and shaping Lagos's future.
