President Bola Tinubu has formally backed the 2027 governorship aspiration of Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos.
In a post on Wednesday, Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special adviser on information and strategy, said Tinubu gave the endorsement during a meeting with members of the Lagos Governance Advisory Council (GAC) at the State House, Abuja.
“President Tinubu formally endorses the Lagos APC consensus governorship candidate Obafemi Hamzat at a meeting with members of the Lagos Governance Advisory Council, led by Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu,” Onanuga wrote.
The endorsement meant Hamzat is the party’s consensus candidate for the February 2027 gubernatorial election in the state leaving the fates of Olajide Adeniran better known as Jandor and Samuel Ajose popularly known as SMA Gold who have gone ahead to get the party’s forms hanging.
