Obafemi Hamzat
The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for Lagos State in 2027, Dr Kadri Hamzat, has said that he is the best candidate for the position. The Deputy Governor of Lagos State recently had his say while speaking at the 70th Harvest Anniversary and Thanksgiving Service of the Cherubim and Seraphim Society, Olorunsogo Parish, Ese-Ofin.
Emphasizing his understanding of the history and politics of the state, Hamzat stated that any aspirant who doesn’t understand the history and politics of a state would find it difficult to govern effectively.
He concluded by urging Lagos residents to beware of politicians who make attractive promises during election campaigns.
His words, “I know the people that have ruled this state before and if I have any problems on land issues, I know where to go.
Though nobody is perfect, I understand Lagos thoroughly.
Now we have come to the campaign period, different politicians will come to you to canvass for votes, promising heaven and earth.
We in APC will not lie because we know the situation of things in the state.
I was working in New York in 2005 when President Bola Tinubu, then Governor of Lagos, visited the city.
He saw me while I was presenting a paper and invited me back home to join his government.
Since then, I have worked as Commissioner for Science and Technology, Commissioner for Works and currently as Deputy Governor of the state.
I understand the history and politics of Lagos.”
