The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated his deputy, Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, for emerging as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.
Governor Sanwo-Olu issued the congratulatory message to Dr. Hamzat in a statement he released on Friday morning.
This followed 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.
He expressed gratitude to all members of the party in Lagos for their show of love, loyalty, and solidarity with the leadership and for conducting themselves in an orderly manner since the start of the primary election process.
He charged members not to relent on their efforts, noting that there is more to be done in the run up to the general election next year.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said: “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.”
