The visit formed part of Hamzat’s ongoing consultations and engagements with individuals and groups ahead of the 2027 Lagos State governorship election. Hamzat emerged as the APC candidate for the Lagos governorship election, while Sonayon-James was selected as his running mate.
During the visit, Hamzat and his delegation also toured the Ark auditorium at Canaanland, according to reports on the engagement. The meeting brought the APC candidates and members of their campaign team together with the prominent Christian leader.
The visit comes amid a series of engagements by Hamzat and his campaign team as political activities ahead of the 2027 elections continue. In recent weeks, the APC candidate has participated in meetings and religious engagements involving political leaders, community stakeholders and faith-based organisations.
According to the account supplied by the campaign, Bishop Oyedepo prayed for and blessed Hamzat as he continues his consultations and engagements ahead of the election. The claim about the blessing is presented as part of the campaign's account of the visit.
The engagement is among the latest public appearances involving Hamzat and Sonayon-James as the APC prepares its campaign activities for the Lagos governorship contest. The 2027 general elections are scheduled to take place next year, with political parties and candidates already stepping up consultations and mobilisation.
