As political alignments for the 2027 Lagos State governorship race gather serious momentum, the Lead Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre (HICC), Bolaji Idowu, has delivered a blunt and heartfelt charge to the state’s Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.
Speaking during a high-profile engagement as the APC governorship candidate intensifies his outreach to Christian communities across the metropolis, Pastor Idowu urged Hamzat to keep the welfare of ordinary citizens and the rising generation front and center when he steps into the state’s highest office.
- A Direct Plea for Relief: Pointing to the harsh economic realities weighing heavily on everyday Nigerians, the cleric explicitly appealed to the incoming leadership framework to design policies that actively make life easier and protect vulnerable demographics.
- Prioritizing the Youth: Idowu specifically challenged the deputy governor to channel strategic state resources into youth empowerment, employment ecosystems, and educational infrastructure to secure a stable future for the state’s massive young population.
- The Faith and Governance Crossroad: The pastoral counsel comes on the heels of Hamzat’s recent statewide engagements, where he has consistently charged young Nigerians to combine faith with integrity, responsibility, and active participation in civic development.
As the race to Alausa enters crucial weeks, the intersection of pulpit counsel and state ambition puts civic expectations squarely on the table for the ruling party’s flagbearer.
