In a strategic move ahead of the 2027 governorship elections, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially endorsed Babajide Hamzat as its consensus candidate. The decision, made by the party’s Governor's Advisory Council (GAC), underscores the APC's focus on maintaining political stability and unity within its ranks as it prepares for a fiercely competitive electoral landscape.
Hamzat, who previously served as Deputy Governor under Babajide Sanwo-Olu, brings experience and continuity to the ticket. His endorsement signals the party's intent to leverage existing governance structures while appealing to both party loyalists and the broader electorate. “We believe that Hamzat embodies the vision and leadership required to take Lagos to greater heights,” stated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, affirming the party’s commitment to a cohesive strategy.
As the elections approach, the APC faces challenges from both internal factions and external opposition. The success of this consensus candidate will depend not only on party cohesion but also on addressing key issues such as infrastructure, security, and economic development, which resonate with voters.
