2027 Lagos Governorship: Hamzat Responds to Sanwo-Olu’s Endorsement
The race for the 2027 Lagos State governorship is gradually taking shape as Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat reacts to a major endorsement from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat has expressed appreciation following his endorsement by Babajide Sanwo-Olu as a preferred candidate for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.
The endorsement reportedly followed a meeting with key political stakeholders and party leaders, where Hamzat made known his interest in contesting the state’s top office.
Reacting to the development, Hamzat described the gesture as a strong vote of confidence in his leadership and contributions to governance, stating that he remains committed to serving the people of Lagos State.
He also pledged to sustain and build on the achievements of the current administration, emphasizing continuity in governance and development.
The endorsement is seen as part of early political alignment within the All Progressives Congress (APC), as preparations for the 2027 elections begin to gather momentum.
Observers note that the backing could strengthen Hamzat’s position within the party, especially as consultations and internal alignments intensify ahead of the primaries.
The development signals the early stages of political maneuvering in Lagos, with Hamzat’s growing support potentially shaping the dynamics of the 2027 governorship race.
