Why Obafemi Hamzat Might Just Be a Placeholder for Seyi Tinubu’s 2027 Lagos Governorship

A major strategy appears to be unfolding in Lagos State politics that few are discussing. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat was recently unveiled as the APC’s 2027 governorship candidate with endorsements from the president, first lady, and incumbent governor.

After an expected APC victory, Hamzat could resign for health or other reasons within months, allowing Tinubu to assume the governorship. Save this post and check back after 2027 to see if this quietly planned strategy comes to pass.
