Sanwo-Olu Endorses Hamzat for APC Governorship Ticket

On a recent date, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu officially endorsed his deputy, Obafemi Kadri Hamzat, for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket. This endorsement marks a significant moment as no other individuals have openly expressed a desire to compete for the position ahead of the party primaries.

Sanwo-Olu's support for Hamzat follows a series of consultations, including meetings with Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, former Minister of Finance, Olawale Edun, and Senator Tokunbo Abiru. Hamzat has also met with members of the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC), including its chairman, Tajudeen Olusi, and traditional rulers.

Sanwo-Olu emphasized the strong partnership and mutual respect developed over their seven years of public service together, recalling their joint ticket during the 2019 elections. He expressed confidence in Hamzat's capabilities and intellect, asserting that he is the best candidate to lead Lagos State forward.
