Former House Speaker and current Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila has spoken out in favour of Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat’s bid for governor of Lagos State.
As a response to Hamzat’s consultation visit, Gbajabiamila endorsed him, saying she was confident in his abilities and prepared to be the state’s leader.
He went on to say that the deputy governor was an effective leader and that Lagos will be well-protected by him.
Based on this consultation move, Dr. Hamzat, you clearly are a man of honour who does not take things for granted.
You might take me for granted, but know that I am openly declaring my trust in your abilities and capability. Therefore, do not underestimate my assistance.
“Suralere, my constituency, and Lagos are behind you,” he declared.
Present earlier was Musiliu Obanikoro, a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), who apprised the audience of the breadth of consultations conducted by Hamzat’s team, highlighting the substantial degree of endorsement accumulated thus far.
The amount of support has been tremendous, he assured President Bola Tinubu’s chief of staff.
Senator Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon, Bode Oyedele, Engineer Adekunle Olayinka, Dr. Hakeem Shittu, and Secretary of the GAC, Alhaji Muti Are were also part of Hamzat’s group.
In addition to Rasaq Ajala, Dr. Jebe, and Saheed Kekereekun were also present.
