Dr Obafemi Hamzat, the All Progressives Congress' candidate in the February 2027 Lagos governorship poll, has received growing institutional backing. In April 2026, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu publicly endorsed his deputy for the 2027 governorship. A day later, the Governance Advisory Council, an influential leadership body, also endorsed him. The endorsements mark a shift from Hamzat's 2019 decision to step aside for Sanwo-Olu.
