Political Powerhouses Obasa And Hamzat Gear Up For 2027 Lagos Governorship Race

Published

on

As Lagos gears up for the 2027 governorship election, Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and House Speaker Mudashiru Obasa have emerged as the top contenders. Both figures bring extensive political experience, a deep understanding of the state’s power structures, and significant influence within Lagos.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

 

Hamzat, the son of the late Oba Mufutau Hamzat and a key member of the influential Justice Forum, has built a strong political base through his legacy and personal reputation. Obasa, the longest-serving Speaker of Lagos State, derives his strength from his deep grassroots connections and political resilience, having earned respect from local communities through his tenure.

Both candidates are backed by powerful political factions, with Hamzat supported by the Justice Forum and Obasa by the Mandate Group. These alliances position them well, especially with the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), a key force in Lagos politics, expected to play a crucial role in the election.

While other figures such as Senator Tokunbo Abiru and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila are also potential candidates, their influence in Lagos politics remains limited compared to Hamzat and Obasa, whose strong local support will be a key factor in the race. The upcoming local government elections will be critical, as control over local government chairmen, who select delegates for the APC primaries, will significantly impact the outcome.
