Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announces the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket for the 2027 election. Multiple outlets report that Sanwo-Olu presents Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat as the APC governorship candidate and Princess Damilola Sonayon-James as his running mate. The announcement is made through posts on Sanwo-Olu’s verified social media account, with outlets citing the governor’s statements about the partnership.
According to the reports, Sanwo-Olu frames the duo as capable of sustaining Lagos’ development agenda as his own tenure approaches its end. Coverage also highlights the administration’s emphasis on continuity and on the alleged experience and competence of the selected candidates. The outlets converge on the same basic details: who the ticket includes, that it is for the 2027 governorship election, and that the announcement is officially presented by the sitting governor.
The reports do not indicate any dissenting party claims or provide broader electoral context beyond the ticket selection.
