LAGOS — The All Progressives Congress (APC) has picked Princess Damilola Sonayon-James as running mate to its governorship candidate, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Lagos State.
The decision reportedly puts to rest speculation surrounding the choice of Barrister Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the current Secretary to the State Government (SSG), who was earlier linked to the position and represents the Badagry division.
According to party sources, Sonayon-James’ nomination was backed by President Bola Tinubu and the Governance Advisory Committee (GAC), the highest decision-making body of the APC in Lagos State.
