Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially endorsed Obafemi Hamzat as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2027 Lagos State gubernatorial election.
The announcement signals a strong vote of confidence from the President, highlighting Hamzat’s track record and leadership capacity. Described as a dependable partner in governance, Hamzat’s endorsement is being viewed as a strategic move aimed at ensuring continuity in Lagos State’s development agenda.
The backing underscores the administrations commitment to sustaining ongoing reforms and projects in Africa’s largest city. With the 2027 race still ahead, political observers say the endorsement sets the tone for succession planning within the APC in Lagos.
The current administration expressed confidence that the vision for a greater Lagos will be sustained, noting that while significant progress has been made, more work lies ahead to consolidate the state’s growth trajectory.
