Tinubu Supports Hamzat For Lagos Governorship Race
Bola Tinubu has endorsed the 2027 governorship ambition of Obafemi Hamzat during a meeting in Abuja.
The development was disclosed by Bayo Onanuga following the gathering at the State House.
The endorsement came as the president met with members of the Governance Advisory Council, a key decision-making group within Lagos politics.
The meeting brought together top figures shaping the state’s political direction.
Hamzat, who currently serves as deputy governor of Lagos, is now positioned as a leading figure ahead of the 2027 race.
The backing signals growing alignment within the ruling party in the state.
The move is expected to influence political calculations as preparations for the next election cycle begin to take shape across Lagos.
