Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Hamzat, has intensified his engagements with Christian communities in the state ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Hamzat disclosed the engagements in posts on his X account on Sunday, detailing visits to some churches and meetings with Christian leaders.
He said he joined the Love of Christ Generation Church in Oniru, Lagos, to mark its 19th anniversary.
‘Nineteen years of continuous service and impact in our communities is an admirable feat. Congratulations to the Love of Christ Generation Church and may the years ahead bring even greater blessing to our state and its people,’ he wrote.
Hamzat also visited Harvesters International Christian Centre, where he met the pastor, Bolaji Idowu, and members of the church during AWAKENING 2026.
He described the gathering as a time of ‘reflection and hope’, saying Lagos could become a greater state for all residents through unity and adherence to the right values.
At the event, Idowu urged Hamzat to prioritise the welfare of residents if he becomes governor.
‘The cry of our people is, things currently are hard. In God’s providence, if you emerge as the governor, please let it be easy,’ the pastor said.
‘Our prayer is if it’s you or anyone that gets there, all we want is an easier and softer Nigeria where our guys won’t have to do fraud and girls won’t have to sell their body to live a great life,’ he added.
The pastor also commended Hamzat’s credentials.
Hamzat subsequently visited the leadership of Christ Embassy, led by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
He said faith-based organisations had an important role to play in supporting families, empowering young people and strengthening communities.
‘The impact faith-based organisations make in lifting families, supporting youth, and building our communities is invaluable,’ Hamzat wrote.
He added that ‘real progress happens when we all build together’, while expressing optimism about the future of Lagos.
