Lagos 2027: Ambode congratulates Hamzat on emergence as APC consensus candidate

Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has congratulated Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat on his emergence as the consensus governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Ambode described Hamzat’s emergence as a reflection of his loyalty, hard work, and long-standing dedication to the party.

He said Hamzat’s consultations with party leaders and members demonstrated his commitment to the ideals of unity and progress, expressing confidence that Lagos State would benefit from his experience in governance.

Ambode also reaffirmed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, pledging to back his re-election bid.

“As I congratulate Dr. Hamzat on his adoption, I restate my unshakeable commitment to support the re-election of our Leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. I strongly believe that the greater prosperity of Lagos and indeed Nigeria is firmly tied to the continued governance of Mr. President,” he said.
He said Nigeria’s growth and prosperity were tied to Tinubu’s continued leadership, expressing optimism that the President’s policies and vision would yield positive outcomes for the country.

The former governor called on members of the APC in Lagos to work towards delivering a landslide victory for the party in the forthcoming elections.

He set a target of at least three million votes for the President in Lagos State and urged party members to support APC candidates across all levels, including those contesting seats in the National Assembly.

Ambode added that the party should also collaborate with other South-West states to secure strong electoral outcomes for the APC.

He expressed confidence that the future of Lagos State and Nigeria remained bright, noting that the best days were still ahead.
