Babajide Sanwo-Olu has congratulated his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, on emerging as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.
Sanwo-Olu conveyed his congratulatory message in a statement issued on Friday after Hamzat was declared the winner of the party’s direct primary election conducted across the state on Thursday.
The governor described Hamzat’s emergence as a reflection of the confidence reposed in him by members of the APC and residents of Lagos State.
He also praised party members for their peaceful conduct, loyalty, and solidarity during the primary election process.
“It is my belief that your personal vision for the continuous growth and development of our state will be for the benefit of all.”
Sanwo-Olu said the impressive turnout of party faithful at polling centres across Lagos demonstrated support for Hamzat and confidence in his ability to consolidate on the achievements of the current administration.
