Hamzat Engages GAC for 2027 Lagos Governorship Race
Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, commenced preliminary political consultations with the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC) to assess early positioning ahead of the 2027 governorship contest. Hamzat announced via his X account that he engaged with influential council members on Monday, emphasizing the importance of dialogue for the future leadership of Lagos.
The GAC, led by Tajudeen Olusi, includes veteran politicians and major stakeholders, such as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who play significant roles in strategic decisions within the state's political framework. Hamzat's meeting with the council is part of a customary early consultation process before major political contests, with reactions on social media suggesting potential endorsements for Hamzat as the APC's preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
However, claims regarding a consensus within the party remain unconfirmed.
