Lagos APC Welcomes Deputy Governorship Candidate, Sonayon-James

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has hosted its deputy governorship candidate, Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, at the party secretariat as preparations gather momentum ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

Eko Hot News reports that the meeting brought together members of the State Executive Committee and key party leaders to strengthen internal collaboration and align strategies for the forthcoming election.

The engagement provided an opportunity for party officials to interact with Princess Sonayon-James and discuss the APC’s vision for Lagos State ahead of the 2027 polls.

Party leaders described the meeting as productive, noting that it focused on unity, effective coordination, and continued commitment to progressive governance.

Princess Damilola Sonayon-James is the running mate to Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat on the APC’s ticket for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.

She is widely recognised as a technocrat, sustainability expert, and grassroots mobiliser with years of experience in community development and public engagement.

The APC deputy governorship candidate also hails from the Kweme Royal Family in Badagry, a background party members say reflects the diversity and inclusiveness of the party.

Her emergence has attracted attention across Lagos, with many observers highlighting the significance of broader representation within the state’s political landscape.

If elected, Princess Sonayon-James could become the first indigene from the Badagry division to serve as Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

Party leaders noted that her nomination reflects the APC’s commitment to promoting competence, innovation, and inclusive leadership.

The meeting also reinforced the party’s resolve to remain united as it prepares for future political activities across the state.

Participants reaffirmed their support for policies aimed at sustaining development and improving the welfare of Lagos residents.

The APC leadership expressed confidence that collaboration among party stakeholders will strengthen its preparations for the 2027 election.

Leaders also emphasised the importance of maintaining internal cohesion while engaging residents on the party’s programmes and vision for the state.

Princess Sonayon-James thanked party leaders for the warm reception and reiterated her commitment to working with stakeholders in advancing the APC’s development agenda.

The meeting concluded with renewed optimism among party members as preparations continue for the next electoral cycle in Lagos State.
