In a personally signed statement released on Thursday, Daily Dates Nigeria reports that Ambode praised Hamzat’s dedication and long-standing commitment to the APC, noting that his emergence reflects years of loyalty, hard work, and service to the party.

The congratulatory message came shortly after Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, announced his withdrawal from the APC governorship race, clearing the path for Hamzat’s consensus candidacy.

Ambode described Hamzat as a committed party man whose extensive consultations with party leaders and stakeholders demonstrated his alignment with the APC’s core values of unity and progress. He added that Lagos State stands to benefit significantly from Hamzat’s experience and leadership capacity.

Reaffirming his political stance, Ambode also pledged support for the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu. He emphasized that Nigeria’s economic growth and Lagos State’s continued development are closely tied to Tinubu’s leadership.

Ambode further called on APC members in Lagos and across the Southwest to mobilize support ahead of the elections, setting a target of at least three million votes for the president. He also stressed the importance of securing victories for all APC candidates, including senators and members of the House of Representatives, in the upcoming electoral cycle.

Sanwo-Olu’s spokesman, Gboyega Akosile, in a tweet, revealed that this is the first time the trio will meet in over four years.

Ambode took over in 2015 but lost his re-election at the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary in the 2019 electioneering process due to intra-party squabbles as APC strongman in Lagos (Tinubu) was reported to have favoured the incumbent governor (Sanwo-Olu), over Ambode.
