James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, has endorsed Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, as the preferred candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 Lagos governorship election. Faleke made this announcement via a post on his official social media account on Friday, urging APC members across Lagos State to rally support for Hamzat as the party prepares for its governorship primaries next month. This endorsement follows reports that APC leadership is considering Hamzat as a strong candidate for the party's nomination. Sources indicate that this move is part of broader consultations among party stakeholders in the southwest ahead of the next electoral cycle. The discussions, which took place during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu and other key APC stakeholders, focused on identifying candidates with strong popularity within their respective states. Notable attendees included Femi Gbajabiamila, Opeyemi Bamidele, and governors from Ogun, Ekiti, and Lagos States.
