APC Primaries: Faleke Positions Hamzat as Top Contender

A lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, has publicly endorsed Obafemi Hamzat as his preferred candidate for the 2027 Lagos governorship race, a move that could shape political conversations and future leadership in the state.

Faleke called on members of the All Progressives Congress across Lagos to unite behind Hamzat, stressing the need for cohesion as the party prepares for its primaries.

For many Lagos residents, the unfolding political alignments signal the early stages of decisions that will ultimately influence governance, infrastructure, and social development in the state beyond 2027.

Hamzat, who currently serves as deputy governor under Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is increasingly being mentioned among key contenders, with party insiders suggesting that discussions are ongoing to build consensus around viable candidates.

Across the South-West, similar political movements are emerging, with stakeholders weighing options that could determine leadership direction in states like Ogun and Oyo.

Observers note that these early endorsements and consultations reflect broader efforts within the APC to ensure stability and continuity, while also presenting candidates who can address the needs and expectations of citizens.

As the political landscape gradually takes shape, residents will be watching closely, knowing that the choices made today could impact governance, economic opportunities, and quality of life in the years ahead.
