Femi Hamzat, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, has stepped up engagement with Christian communities across the state as he positions himself ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Hamzat detailed the church visits in a series of posts on his X account on Sunday.
He said he attended the 19th anniversary celebration of Love of Christ Generation Church in Oniru, Lagos, describing the milestone as “an admirable feat” and wishing the church “even greater blessing” in the years ahead.
In a separate post, Hamzat said he visited Harvesters International Christian Centre, where he met the church’s pastor, Bolaji Idowu, and worshippers during the AWAKENING 2026 programme. He called the gathering a moment of reflection and hope, saying unity and the right values could help Lagos become a better state for all residents.
A video from the event showed Idowu appealing to Hamzat to prioritise the welfare of Nigerians should he become governor, describing current economic hardship and urging policies that would make life easier for citizens — specifically pointing to young Nigerians turning to fraud and prostitution as a symptom of hardship. Idowu also praised Hamzat’s credentials.
Hamzat also visited the leadership of Christ Embassy, headed by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, where he spoke on the role of faith-based organisations in supporting families, empowering youth and strengthening communities. He said real progress comes when stakeholders build together, expressing optimism about Lagos’ future.
