‘If not for Hamzat, I wouldn’t be governor,’ Sanwo-Olu says

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said he would not have become governor without the support of his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat. During the APC governorship primaries in 2018, Hamzat, a major contender for the ticket, stepped aside and mobilised his supporters behind Sanwo-Olu. That support helped Sanwo-Olu win the primary and later the 2019 general election. Sanwo-Olu praised Hamzat’s loyalty, humility and sacrifice.
