Market leaders and traders in Lagos prayed on Tuesday for the victory of President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor of Lagos, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, in the 2027 general elections, Vanguard reports. The session, organised at the Blue Roof Pavilion in Agidingbi, Ikeja, by the Lagos State Market Advisory Council (LASMAC) with the Ministry of Local Government, also brought together religious and traditional leaders and public officials.
Represented by the Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Akinyemi Ajigbotafe, Hamzat thanked the participants and praised the role of Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, Iyaloja-General of Nigeria and chair of LASMAC, in the mobilisation. He promised, if elected, to strengthen dialogue with the markets and to ensure that their interests are represented. He linked this commitment to the inclusion pillar of his manifesto, "The Lagos Promise", presented on 30 October 2026, and said he wants to continue the work of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The session is part of the pre-campaign: on 10 November, Tinubu promised reliable electricity ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
