Babajide Sanwo-Olu has publicly endorsed his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.

In a video that surfaced on Monday, the governor described Hamzat as “the best man for the job,” signaling early support for his deputy’s potential bid to succeed him in office.

Hamzat, who has served alongside Sanwo-Olu throughout the current administration, is widely regarded as a key figure in the state’s governance and policy implementation.

The endorsement is expected to shape early political alignments within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos as preparations gradually build toward the 2027 general elections.

Further developments are anticipated as political stakeholders react to the governor’s position.
