Samuel Ajose Steps Down For Obafemi Hamzat by naptu2(op): 2:05pm On May 20
SMA Gold materials to now bear Hamzat.

SMA Movement @smamovement

Dr Samuel Mawuyon Ajose entered this race with courage, conviction, and the support of many who believed in the journey.

Today, by stepping aside in support of Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, he has shown another kind of strength, one rooted in loyalty, maturity, and commitment to party unity.

Re: Samuel Ajose Steps Down For Obafemi Hamzat by HacheNoire:
Has anybody noticed they never talk about what Hamzat has achieved in the corridors of power for the last 15 years!

Because they cannot mention it without hiding the fact that he was part and parcel of the retrogression that happened in Lagos state in last 26 years!

Nothing to boast about or portray his competence.

This man was always a poseur and an unserious fellow.

You wanted to contest for governor iof Lagos, but plastered Ibadan with your billboards.

Isn't that ins@nity?

Hamzat Ni O. I want Hamzat to focus more on policies that will positively affect and improve the lives of Lagosians during his tenure. Sanwo Olu has done a lot concerning infrastructure . Hamzat should impact on the lives of the people intelligently. Cheers.

Best choice after Fashola. The man just does his job quietly and discreetly. No loud Achimugus!!

Glad you could still not make sense out of the obvious!

Practically nothing to sell about Hamzat!

Under APC and his supervision, did Lagos progressed or retrogressed.

I tell you.. I wasn’t suprised to hear Hamzat was in charge of the construction of Ikoyi link bridge as Works Commissioner during Fashola tenure..
