Hamzat presents Lagos APC primary results to Tinubu

Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, on Friday presented the results of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary election to President Bola Tinubu following his emergence as the party’s candidate for the 2027 governorship election.

The development was confirmed on Saturday through a post on Hamzat’s official X handle, where he shared details of the visit and his remarks.

Hamzat was accompanied during the visit by his wife, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat.

The meeting came shortly after the deputy governor was officially declared winner of the APC governorship primary election held across Lagos State.

The presentation of the primary election results is considered a significant political development as the ruling party begins preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Although details of the discussions held during the meeting were not immediately made public, the visit is believed to be part of ongoing consultations and engagements within the APC following the completion of its primary elections in Lagos.

Hamzat later spoke about the visit in a post shared on Saturday, where he expressed appreciation for the confidence reposed in him by members of the party.

In the post, the deputy governor said he and his wife visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to formally present the outcome of the APC governorship primary election.

“My wife, Oluremi, and I visited His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to present the official results of the Lagos APC gubernatorial primary,” he wrote.

Hamzat also described his emergence as the party’s governorship candidate as both an honour and a major responsibility, assuring Lagos residents of his commitment to sustaining development across the state.

“I remain deeply grateful for the trust placed in me. Securing the party’s nomination for the 2027 governorship election is both an honour and a profound responsibility. We are working every single day to ensure that our state remains a place where every family can thrive, every business can grow, and every young person can find real opportunities,” he stated.

He further appreciated supporters for their confidence in his vision for the state and pledged continued commitment towards meaningful progress.

“The energy and trust you have placed in this vision mean everything to us. The journey ahead is about turning that shared hope into meaningful progress for everyone,” Hamzat added.
