										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;Today, I am honoured by the endorsement of my Governor, my brother and my friend, HE Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu,&#8221;</strong> said Obafemi Hamzat. His statement follows Sanwo-Olu&#8217;s endorsement of him as the preferred candidate for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.</p>
<p>Sanwo-Olu described Hamzat as <strong>&#8220;the best man for the job.&#8221;</strong> This endorsement marks a significant moment for Hamzat, who expressed that it means <strong>&#8220;a great deal&#8221;</strong> to him. He aims to serve Lagosians with integrity and focus if elected.</p>
<p>The announcement occurred during a meeting with party leaders at Lagos House, Marina. This meeting was part of a consultative process involving key figures from the All Progressives Congress (APC). Hamzat has emerged as a leading contender for the APC governorship ticket.</p>
<p>Sanwo-Olu&#8217;s support follows similar endorsements from other political leaders, strengthening Hamzat&#8217;s position within the party. Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, publicly declared his support for Hamzat&#8217;s ambition.</p>
<p>Hamzat has been actively consulting with party stakeholders in recent weeks. Sanwo-Olu highlighted several defining qualities in Hamzat: integrity, loyalty, commitment, and support. These attributes resonate well within the APC.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;This is a deputy governor that is worth a governor from day one,&#8221;</strong> Sanwo-Olu stated. He believes Hamzat has been built for this job and deserves a chance to lead Lagos State.</p>
<p>The political landscape is heating up as speculation grows over possible contenders for the 2027 Lagos governorship ticket. With endorsements piling up for Hamzat, he is positioning himself as a strong candidate in what promises to be a competitive race.</p>
<p>As the campaign season approaches, further developments are expected. The APC is likely to rally behind their endorsed candidate as they prepare for the elections ahead.</p>
<p>Hamzat&#8217;s rise within the party reflects a broader strategy by the APC to consolidate support ahead of the elections. His commitment to serve Lagosians remains at the forefront of his campaign message.</p>
<p>This endorsement signals strong alignment within the APC as they gear up for the 2027 elections in Lagos State.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Osifo Stanley is challenging Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election, despite significant endorsements for the incumbent.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Osifo Stanley&#8217;s challenge to the incumbent president comes despite overwhelming endorsements for Bola Tinubu within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). On April 27, 2026, Osifo declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the APC.</p>
<p>He unveiled his campaign programme named &#8220;Metamorphosis 2027.&#8221; Osifo plans to acquire the party’s nomination and expression of interest forms, which cost ₦100 million. His announcement has stirred discussions in Nigerian politics.</p>
<p>All 22 APC governors have endorsed Bola Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate for the upcoming election. The APC’s presidential primary is scheduled for May 15-16, 2026. Yet, Osifo has expressed his determination to pursue his political ambitions.</p>
<p>Osifo denied any financial backing from President Tinubu. &#8220;I can categorically tell you… that I have never benefited one Kobo from him,&#8221; he stated. His remarks indicate a clear separation from the incumbent despite their party affiliation.</p>
<p>He further emphasized that endorsements do not automatically determine the party’s flagbearer. &#8220;There is no part of our party constitution that says that if anyone is endorsed, he automatically becomes the candidate of the party,&#8221; Osifo said. This assertion challenges the prevailing narrative within APC.</p>
<p>Osifo&#8217;s stance reflects a broader sentiment in Nigerian politics, where political endorsements are often seen as crucial yet not definitive. He believes in every individual&#8217;s constitutional right to pursue their ambitions.</p>
<p>The upcoming primary will be a pivotal moment for both candidates. It could reshape alliances within the APC and influence voter sentiments leading into the general elections.</p>
<p>As events unfold, all eyes will be on the APC primary next month. The outcome will significantly impact Osifo Stanley&#8217;s political future and that of Bola Tinubu as they head toward the 2027 presidential election.</p>
