Sanwo-Olu and Ambode urge Lagos residents to support Tinubu and Hamzat

In a rally addressed to party faithful, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode, have urged Lagos residents to support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and the emergence of Deputy Governor, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, in the 2027 general elections. According to the Vanguard News, the duo made the call while addressing party faithful at the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Lagos. The call comes as Tinubu and Hamzat prepare to contest the presidential and deputy presidential elections, respectively. The elections are scheduled for 2027. With the support of Sanwo-Olu and Ambode, the candidates hope to solidify their hold on Lagos, a critical voting bloc in Nigeria’s political landscape. The urging of the governors could have significant implications for the upcoming elections, as Lagos is a stronghold for the APC. The call to action underscores the importance of Lagos in the political calculations of Tinubu and Hamzat, who are both Lagos natives. The urging of Lagos residents to support their candidacy could help to boost their chances in the 2027 elections.
