Lagos GAC endorses Hamzat as consensus candidate for 2027 governorship race

The Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC) has adopted the state’s Deputy Governor, Dr. Babafemi Hamzat, as its consensus candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The decision was announced on Tuesday by the GAC Chairman, Tajudeen Olusi, following a council meeting held at Lagos House, Marina.

The meeting was attended by members of the council, alongside Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Hamzat.

Olusi explained that while the APC has opted to conduct primary elections, the party’s constitution also allows for the emergence of a consensus candidate. He noted that the endorsement of Hamzat does not отмен the primaries, which are expected to proceed as scheduled.

He further disclosed that members of the GAC have collectively resolved to purchase the party’s nomination form for Hamzat, reinforcing their support for his candidacy.
