The governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, has announced Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, as Director-General of his campaign ahead of the 2027 election.
The appointment was disclosed at an expanded meeting of the campaign council, presided by Hamzat on Wednesday.
THISDAY gathered that the choice of Obanikoro had been pre-approved by President Bola Tinubu before it was made public by the candidate himself at a recent meeting of the council.
The choice of Obanikoro, sources within the council disclosed, was informed by the fact that he was a veteran politician and election general, who had been tested at different times.
Apart from the fact that his choice apparently had the approval of the president, THISDAY also gathered that no member of the council had an objection, as they all described the former senator for Lagos Central as a man they could work with.
