Dr Samuel Mawuyon Ajose, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has picked up the party’s Expression of Interest and Nomination form for the 2027 governorship election in Lagos State.
Ajose, a popular businessman disclosed this in a post on his official X handle on Wednesday.
He said the move signals a definitive step forward in his aspiration to “serve as Governor of Lagos State on the platform of our great party, the APC.
“This moment is bigger than a political process. It is a personal commitment to purposeful leadership, inclusive governance, and the kind of progress that every Lagosian can feel and point to.
“My resolve is rooted in service, anchored in a clear vision, and driven by one conviction; that Lagos deserves development which reaches every community, creates real opportunities for its people, and leaves no one behind.
“I begin this journey with humility, courage, and complete faith in God and in the good people of Lagos. Together, we are building something this state will be proud of”.
DAILY POST reports that the outgoing governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had publicly announced his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, as his preferred APC candidate.
Subsequently, the Governance Advisory Council, GAC, the highest advisory body of APC, in the state announced Hamzat as APC consensus candidate.
