Eko Hot Blog reports that in a move widely interpreted as strategic and unifying, Dr. Hamzat paid a visit to former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen internal cohesion and consolidate support ahead of the primaries.
The meeting underscores the importance of consultation and respect for party hierarchy within the APC, particularly at a time when political alignments are gradually taking shape. Observers note that such engagements reflect a culture of inclusiveness and consensus-building that has long defined the party’s structure in Lagos State.
Political analysts also suggest that Dr. Hamzat’s growing visibility and consultations with influential figures signal a calculated effort to unify different blocs within the party. His approach is seen as one that prioritizes stability, continuity, and collective decision-making.
Sources within the party indicate that his aspiration continues to gain traction, with notable backing from party leadership, including Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose influence remains significant in shaping political direction within the state.
The engagement with Ikuforiji, a respected political figure with deep grassroots connections, is viewed as a step toward bridging interests and reinforcing unity within the APC fold.
As the primaries draw nearer, similar consultations are expected to continue, as stakeholders work to ensure a smooth process and minimize internal divisions.
For many party members, Hamzat’s approach reflects a blend of political maturity and strategic foresight, positioning him as a key figure in the unfolding political landscape of Lagos State.
