The Executive Chairman of Eredo Local Council Development Area, Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, has called on residents and stakeholders to support Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat as the state’s political activities ahead of the 2027 Lagos governorship election continue.
Epe Insights reports that Akinloye made the call while expressing his support for Hamzat and urging stakeholders to work together towards what he described as a greater and more prosperous Lagos.
Hamzat, who currently serves as Lagos State Deputy Governor, emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the 2027 Lagos governorship election after winning the party’s governorship primary in May 2026.
Akinloye said his call for support was based on the need for collective efforts towards the development and prosperity of Lagos State.
The Eredo LCDA chairman urged stakeholders to work together as political activities leading to the 2027 election continue across the state.
He emphasised the importance of collective participation in efforts aimed at shaping the future direction of Lagos State.
Akinloye’s statement adds to the series of endorsements and support messages that have followed Hamzat’s emergence as the APC governorship candidate.
Hamzat’s candidacy has continued to attract public and political reactions from different groups and individuals ahead of the 2027 general election.
In his message, Akinloye focused on the broader objective of working towards a more prosperous Lagos, while urging stakeholders to support Hamzat.
The chairman also called for cooperation among residents and political stakeholders as the state prepares for the next governorship election.
According to Akinloye, collective efforts remain important to achieving the desired progress and development for Lagos.
His appeal comes as political parties, candidates and stakeholders continue preparations and engagements ahead of the 2027 elections.
Hamzat’s emergence as the APC candidate followed the party’s primary held in Lagos in May, where he was declared the winner by the party’s returning officer.
Since then, various groups and political actors have expressed positions on his candidacy, including calls for support from individuals and organisations.
Akinloye, in his message, aligned himself with the call for support and urged stakeholders to join efforts towards what he described as a more prosperous Lagos.
The Eredo LCDA chairman did not provide further details on specific programmes or policies in the brief statement, focusing instead on collective support and cooperation.
His message also reflects the growing political activity across Lagos as the 2027 governorship election draws closer.
For Eredo LCDA, Akinloye’s statement places the council chairman among local political stakeholders publicly expressing support for Hamzat’s candidacy.
The appeal is part of the wider political engagement surrounding the 2027 Lagos governorship race.
As preparations continue, candidates, political parties and stakeholders are expected to sustain engagements with communities and various interest groups across the state.
Akinloye urged residents and stakeholders to remain committed to efforts that can contribute to the development of Lagos State.
He reiterated his call for support for Hamzat while stressing the importance of working collectively towards the future of the state.
The statement comes against the backdrop of Hamzat’s current position as Deputy Governor and his status as the APC candidate for the 2027 Lagos governorship election.
With political activities continuing across Lagos, Akinloye’s message adds to the ongoing public discussion surrounding the forthcoming governorship election.
