Sanwo-Olu Commends Hamzat's Loyalty Ahead of 2027 Election
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos, spoke highly of his deputy, Femi Hamzat, during the unveiling of Hamzat's manifesto titled "The Lagos Promise" for the 2027 governorship election. Sanwo-Olu recounted how Hamzat stepped aside for him in 2018 after spending 13 years in public service under former governors Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola.
He noted that Hamzat accepted this decision without bitterness and agreed to be his running mate five weeks later. Sanwo-Olu expressed confidence in Hamzat's character and leadership abilities, citing their collaboration on various projects, including the COVID-19 pandemic response and infrastructure developments like the Lagos Blue and Red rail lines.
He described their governance relationship as one of trust and shared vision, emphasizing the importance of continuity in leadership for Lagos's development. Sanwo-Olu urged Hamzat to maintain existing initiatives and address challenges as he prepares for the upcoming election.
