Tinubu Endorses Hamzat for 2027 Lagos Governorship
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, has officially endorsed Obafemi Hamzat as the consensus candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 Lagos State governorship election. This endorsement follows a decision made by the party's advisory council, known as the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC).
Obafemi Hamzat is currently serving as the Deputy Governor of Lagos State and is recognized as a technocrat with deep roots in Lagos politics. He has held several key positions within the state, including roles in the Lagos State Commission for Science and Technology and in infrastructure development.
The endorsement is expected to significantly influence the political landscape of the APC in Lagos, as the party aims to maintain its dominance since the return to democracy in 1999.
