Details: Lagos Dep Gov’s Son Not Part Of Obidient Rally

The son of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat is not part of the Obidient camp and was not part of the rally that held on Saturday, October 1, 2022.

This confirmation has been made by Tunde Alao, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor (Media), Office of the Lagos State Deputy Governor.

Alao made the clarification in reaction to unfounded assertions made by some of the members of the Obidient movement – the supporters of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

Alao statement reads, “Attention of the Office of the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, has been drawn to an online picture of an individual captioned “ The Lagos State Deputy Governor’s son Femi Hamzat, joins the obidient rally in support of Peter Obi” which has gone viral on the social media.

For the avoidance of doubt, the gentleman in the displayed photograph is neither the Deputy Governor’s son nor his relative.

The viral message is another mischievous, false and malicious attempt to cause friction between the Deputy Governor and his admirers and loyalists across the Nation.

Dr. Hamzat has a reputation of commitment and loyalty to the Sanwo-Olu led administration and the All Progressives Congress. His support is for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima. Our party and all our supporters are working hard to ensure that our candidates get the votes of Nigerians. Ours is not about bogus statistics and lies.

Any attempt to denigrate his character by spewing falsehood about his family will remain a vain and futile attempt until eternity.

Supporters of the Labour Party should get serious with their campaigns and desist from cheap tactics that would not yield any political gains.

We hope that Nigerians will detect these tendencies to deceive and see it for what it is. It is too late in the day to keep lying to Nigerians. It won’t work.
