Hamzat and GRV unveil contrasting plans at Lagos governorship debate

At the 2026 Lagos governorship debate, APC candidate and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and ADC candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour set out contrasting plans covering housing, transport, security, infrastructure and accountable governance. Hamzat cited his public-service experience and introduced “Jacob’s Promise,” a blueprint built around seven pillars and 100 pledges. Rhodes-Vivour called for an end to what he described as two decades of bad governance and advocated integrated urban development that serves all residents. He promised 100,000 housing units in four years, funded in part through luxury taxation and development of the eastern foreshore.
