The Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, has declared his support for the Lagos governorship bid of the state deputy governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
Gbajabiamila endorsed Hamzat when the deputy governor, in company of some prominent party leaders in the state, visited him at his Oniru residence on Sunday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the visit was part of his ongoing engagements and consultations with party leaders ahead of 2027.
Some of the party leaders on Hamzat’s entourage include a former Minister of State for Defence, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro; Secretary of Lagos APC Governance Advisory Council, Chief Mutiu Are; and Sen. Ganiyu Solomon.
Declaring his support for Hamzat, Gbajabiamila described the deputy governor as a leader with great competence and capacity, saying he had complete trust in the aspirant to take the state to the next level.
He said Hamzat had demonstrated strong leadership as deputy governor and in other capacities he had served the state.
The chief of staff said the party needed a performer like Hamzat in 2027, to bring more development to the state and keep the opposition away from power.
“I thank you for coming here to solicit support;I do not take this for granted as I see it as a mark of honour.
“You are someone I have known for years; you have demonstrated strong leadership as deputy governor and I am not in any doubt about your capacity to deliver the goods.
“I know what you have done for years and I am sure you will follow the blueprint and even elevate it to another level.
