Hamzat Strengthens Support as Ambode Eyes Political Comeback

Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, is intensifying efforts to consolidate support from influential stakeholders, particularly within the Governors Advisory Council (GAC), ahead of the party's primaries. His recent engagements included a visit to GAC Chairman Princ Tajudeen Olusi and members such as Senator Anthony Adefuye and former Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly Adeyemi Sabit Ikuforiji.

The political landscape is becoming increasingly competitive with the re-emergence of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, who has renewed consultations that suggest a potential bid for political return. Although Ambode has not formally declared his intentions, his growing outreach efforts indicate a desire to reshape alignments within the party.

Party leaders have confirmed Ambode's support for completing his tenure, which adds complexity to the upcoming elections as he may disrupt existing dynamics.
