The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that its governorship candidate for the 2027 election, Dr Kadri Hamzat, will unveil his manifesto on Friday, October 30, 2026.
The Director-General of the campaign council, Musiliu Obanikoro, announced the unveiling at a press conference in Ikeja on Sunday, saying the event would take place at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, formerly the National Arts Theatre, in Iganmu, Lagos.
Obanikoro said the campaign was anchored on shared progress and inclusivity, with a focus on building on the development plans and foundations laid by previous administrations, including that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He stressed the need to protect the state’s achievements while addressing outstanding challenges.
“The future of Lagos is too important to be left to chance because the decisions we make today will determine the opportunities available to our children, the strength of our economy, and the quality of life of millions of people who call this state home. Lagos has made significant progress over the years, but we are not unaware that more work lies ahead. Our responsibility is to protect the gains we have made, address the challenges that remain, and build a state that offers greater opportunities to all.” The Director-General said.
The campaign council director-general highlighted Hamzat’s background in the private sector and public service, citing his PhD in Systems Process Engineering from Cranfield University, experience with global financial institutions Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, and current position as Lagos State Deputy Governor.
Obanikoro also acknowledged achievements under the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat, saying their government had transformed the state’s socio-political and economic landscape.
“From the Blue and Red rail lines to hundreds of completed roads and bridges, improvements in schools and hospitals, enhancing the culture and creative economy, to global level, new housing projects, and support for businesses and young people, the administration has continued to develop the state and improve public services. Dr Hamzat will draw on his experience in government to build on these gains, address existing challenges, and deepen the progress for the benefit of all Lagosians,” Obanikoro stressed.
The manifesto, he said, would be made available for public download, with Lagos residents invited to submit feedback, comments and suggestions.
The presentation is scheduled to run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will be broadcast live on major television stations and digital media platforms.
