I stated it years ago that Hamzat will replace Sanwo Olu. Brilliant, measured and competent dude legendary for his considerable attention to details and capacity for spotting solutions.

@OP.
The GAC is powerful determining who becomes Governor. They are individual who are achievers. Critically, they understand Lagos. I trust their judgement I don't think anything needs to be put in place to second-guess as you are suggesting.

PigTormentor:
So millions of brilliant minds will contest for Governor?
The US has 450 million people but they elected a convicted felon.
Select your own candidate in your own party and stop worrying about other party.
We the people of Lagos and Epe especially are ok with either of the two. They are both our brothers.
I prefer Ambode, but I'll take Hamzat any day if Ambode is not available.

No

Willy2025:
Obafemi Hamzat is a perfect candidate over and above Ambode. He is quiet, patient and loyal party men. He had twice given up his chances to become the governor for the same Ambode and Sanwoolu. This is his time. The problem is that quiet personality like him often get intoxicated by power when he gets to the office like Fubara. Time will tell. With Hamzat as the APC candidate, other parties do not stand a chance.

You're right. There's this wonderful feeling about Hazmat. His tenure will be one that Lagosians will wish it doesn't come to an end.
A proven technocrat, well grounded in grassroot politics.

Let your own party select from these young brilliant minds and present them for election, then sit back and let the electorate decide.

QED

My brother, those states that nobody is deciding their destiny, how many of them can match Lagos' standard? Kindly mention them pls

which of those stated was a capital of Nigeria?

You think lagos is what it is because of him?

ProudlyLagos:
busybody…….your state that are not conquered people or one man is deciding their destiny, pls mention the state let compare you clowns will all leave your deprived and underdeveloped state for Lagos and still come on internet to talk nonsense about a state you find refuge in are Lagos people complaining? Or how is who we elect your business? Btw proudly Lagos

as if na the man build Lagos?

If he truly built lagos why he come Dey demolish Nigeria

BTW, was Lagos the capital of Nigeria?

Funsho Doherty will definitely give Hamzat a huge scare or even defeat him... Only Ambode will readily get votes around religious and ethnic divides, plus the 16years Christian rule play.

I really hope Epe doesn't do a protest vote if the ticket isn't given to Ambode, cos SanwoOlu literally neglected the region throughout his tenure... Who'll believe LASU Epe campus and it's neighbouring communities does light... Na only Ambode road Epe dey chop

Except if ADC misbehaves in choosing their candidate, I expect this to be a closely contested election.

😂😂😂
Muumu, leave Cho Cho Cho and tell us your state that are not conquered people let’s compare? So since lagos stopped being capital about 33yrs ago, the state stopped to develop or lagos was the only former capital? Mention your state and let compare the development with Lagos since 1999 in our present democracy and let see how much progress your state that was never governed by Tinubu made they keep hiding the ineptitude of the failure they elect in their state under Lagos was former capital nonsense…..btw proudly Lagos

akpumping7720:
If you like vote for Donatus of ABC, that's your cup of tea. You have the right to vote for whoever you like. Other normal voters know who to vote for.

Hope it's not by sharing of rice as usual and buying votes on election day with 3,000 ?

Fashola rather bend dan support that thing called ambode to be govnor of Lagos state.

Please, where is Chinedu?

If you go around Lagos, a lot of people prefer Ambode over Hamzat, but that doesn't means Hamzat isn't a qualified candidate

Hamzat any day anytime twice and thrice on a roll.
That gentleman will not labour in vain it's His turn.
Ambode can chase any other political office or appointment but for Lagos governorship the ship has sailed⛵.

The state is in eternal bondage for more donkey years to come because APC has positioned itself for that and no other party can wrestle them for the number one citizen of the state therefore the recycling incompartible leaders and looting of fund continues

Lagos enjoys a capital status, the reason for its developmental leverage

If Tinubu truly developed Lagos

see him see Nigeria na . Is he not the president again? hahahahahahaha

At least it is a present day example

As an Epe boy I like ambode but I strongly believe hamzat has a lot to offer.
Hamzat will come with more strict discipline and engineering project ideas.

With all what you typed you’re not even concerned about the development of Lagos State. You’re more concerned about the APC party loyalty

Billions of young minds and vibrant youths are broke with no sponsorship

press9jatv:
yes sooo. No one see Sanwoolu impact in Epe zone of Lagos State in the last 7 years

Sanwoolu abandoned Epe, abandoned many projects ambode started in Epe.
But hamzat is not a b a stard. As an Epe boy he would complete them.

Badagry has been sleeping for too long. No voice at all

Abuja has been the capital for more years than Lagos was.
Akwaibom, delta, bayelsa rivers etc has been enjoying oil money for so long that I can’t count.
Yet dem no reach.
It’s has to do with the people. Civilization and progressive has to do with the kind of people in that region.

Hamzat is from Epe

You actually feel like we’re in bondage. But we’re the most progressive state in Nigeria.
I think this kind of progressive bondage is better

I think so also. I believe he has the capacity to be a spectacular Governor of Lagos. Personally, I think APC has settled on Hamzat. It will be a consensus agreement IMO.

AnonPoet:
Is Hamzat and Ambode only best suitable for Lagos next Gov

For Lagos State to continue progressing and leading Nigerian states in development, it most not derail from encourage young and vibrant minds in leading the state since democracy return to Nigeria sphere in 1999. The state has since that year brought forward young vibrant people who have lead the state exceptionally well, and making it example for other states that look forward to copying series of remarkable development from Lagos Govt.

Elections are around the corner again, it is the season to pick political officers that will lead the state, help the people of Lagos decide what development is needed to driver its economy such that will make Lagos attract both local and international investors.

Lagos APC is singing Hamzat, who is currently wrapping up eight ( years of serving as deputy governor alongside Babajide Sanwo-olu.

On the other hand, Epe division of APC is also asking the political umpire of the state to al at least return Ambode who only served one team between 2015 and 2019.

But this is it, both Hamzat and ambode are in their early 60s, would development not start declining if any of the two personalities is been considered to become Lagos’ next Gov.

Let ask ourselves this honest question, is Hamzat and Ambode the best Lagos APC can offer to his people?

What happen to millions of brilliant young minds in this Lagos?

60 is not too old to rule.

Remember Peter Obi that our people are clamouring for is in his 60's too.

Sheuns:
It’s better to vote another party. A vote for APC in Lagos state is a vote for continuous looting and lies.

Lagos state is the only state that's govern by APC since 1999 and they are progressing.

Other states like Rivers,Akwa-Ibom,Delta wey close to them in terms of generating revenue are now where to be found in terms of developments.

I can understand your pain…..it’s coming from a place of envy and jealousy, you are not even bold enough to tells us your state, maybe we can learn or copy the development drive in your state……Tinubu is the architect of modern Lagos and he gave us visionary leadership which is successors have progressively taken the state to an enviable position, that’s why we are the envy of all and a destination choice for economic migrants who have all left their deprived and underdeveloped state for lagos we are not complaining……you can use the same energy you use to criticise, and direct it to the failures you elect in your state which is not governed by tilumbu……busybody

I know Hamzat, he's ok but I don't see that Epe first commitment in him like Ambode did when he first came.
I see Hamzat as someone that we will have to run after to to get anything in Epe.
Ambode on the other hand has Epe as a top priority from the first day in office.

see you see Nigeria?

How is the economy, security, power, infrastructure? what will he campaign with self

How can any human be worse than Buhari as a president? Na now e come dey sack finance and power minister

In our Lagos, we dont apply sentiments into politics. In my opinion, Hamzat should just sit down for now and allow the workaholic Ambode to finish his term. We've really missed him. We knew how he was removed and I hope they've learned their lesson. Hamzat is finishing 8 years as deputy governor so, he needs to rest. In my opinion, he shouldn't even seek governorship position again.

Should they make a mistake on candidacy, Uncle Doherty will be given an easy win because the aboriginal lagosians, same people who gave tinubu the political space are the ones drumming support for him and hamzat is a feather weight. He's not from Lagos. Only Ambode can challenge Doherty as it stands, giving his amazing performance. Enough said.
