A Lagos-based political commentary platform reported that the meeting included emotional moments, citing claims that Otunba Alebiosu, a respected GAC member from Lagos East and known as “Bush,” was visibly moved after Hamzat allegedly received the council’s backing as the APC’s preferred candidate. However, these claims remain unverified and have not been confirmed by Hamzat or any official representative of the GAC. The Deputy Governor has maintained a measured tone, focusing on dialogue and collaboration rather than overt political positioning.
As the 2027 governorship election approaches, Lagos State will likely see increased political activity, with aspirants vying for party nominations and public support. Hamzat’s early engagement with the GAC signals his intent to be a major player in the race, even as the formal nomination process remains months away. The outcome of these consultations could influence the APC’s internal dynamics and shape the state’s political future.
