Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has officially thrown his weight behind his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2027 Lagos State gubernatorial election.
The endorsement came during a high-profile cabinet meeting at the Governor’s Office in Alausa, Ikeja, where Sanwo-Olu praised Hamzat’s unwavering loyalty and preparedness to lead the state.
A video circulating online captures the emotional moment, featuring speeches, warm embraces, and raised hands in a show of unity among party stalwarts.
The move underscores the APC’s intent to maintain continuity in Lagos, Africa’s largest economy, following Hamzat’s pivotal role in the 2019 election when he deferred his ambition to back Sanwo-Olu.
