Babajide Sanwo-Olu has publicly endorsed his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, as a leading contender for the 2027 Lagos governorship race.
In a video obtained on Monday, Sanwo-Olu praised Hamzat’s leadership qualities and experience, describing him as the “best man for the job.” The governor’s endorsement is seen as a significant political signal ahead of the next election cycle, potentially shaping the succession landscape within the state.
Hamzat, who currently serves as deputy governor, has long been considered a key figure in Lagos politics, and the governor’s open support may strengthen his position among party stakeholders and voters alike.
