What GAC Endorsement Means For Lagos Governorship — Hamzat Breaks It Down

The GAC had earlier endorsed Hamzat as its consensus candidate during a meeting held at Lagos House, Marina, on Tuesday, further strengthening his position ahead of the forthcoming election cycle.

Reacting in a post shared on his Facebook page, Hamzat expressed gratitude to the council, noting that he does not take the endorsement for granted. He particularly appreciated the Chairman of the GAC, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, alongside other members of the council for their confidence and trust in his leadership.

He further stated that he has accepted the responsibility with a deep sense of humility, adding that his focus remains on delivering good and accountable governance to the people of Lagos State.

“Today, I was honoured to receive the unanimous endorsement of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) as the official APC Governorship candidate for Lagos in the 2027 elections. Receiving this endorsement from the apex leaders of our dear party is indeed humbling and historic, one I do not take for granted. I am grateful to the Chairman, Alhaji Prince Tajudeen Olusi, and to the members of the Council for their trust and confidence in me. It is a responsibility I accept with all sense of humility, and I will continue to stay focused on what truly matters to our people, which is good and accountable governance. Thank you once again to our leaders and God bless,” he wrote.
