The governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, for emerging as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.
Sanwo-Olu issued the congratulatory message in a statement released on Friday morning following the declaration of Hamzat as winner of the direct primary election that was held across the state on Thursday.
The governor stated that the huge numbers of party faithful that thronged different polling centres was a reflection of the confidence reposed in Hamzat to consolidate the audacious and transformative leadership of the current administration.
Sanwo-Olu expressed gratitude to all members of the party in Lagos for their show of love, loyalty and solidarity with the leadership and conducting themselves in orderly manner since the start of the primary election process.
The governor charged members not to relent on their efforts, noting that there was more to be done in the run up to the general elections next year.
“On behalf of my family, I congratulate Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat on his emergence as the standard bearer of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, in next year’s gubernatorial election in Lagos. 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.
