Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu presents Obafemi Hamzat and Princess Damilola Sonayon-James as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship flagbearers for the 2027 election. Multiple outlets report that Sanwo-Olu makes the announcement publicly, framing the selection as a continuation of the state’s existing development agenda as his tenure approaches its end.
The reports describe the duo as partners intended to sustain and build on Lagos’ achievements. Vanguard and The Punch both highlight Sanwo-Olu’s remarks that the ticket combines experience, competence, and energy for “moving Lagos forward.” Premium Times adds that Sanwo-Olu also shares the decision through a post on X, stating that the leaders are positioned to maintain the progress made during his time in office once his governorship term ends.
Across the coverage, there is a consistent account that Sanwo-Olu formally unveils the Hamzat–Sonayon-James pairing as APC’s Lagos ticket for 2027, with emphasis on governance continuity rather than new policy pledges.
