“On behalf of my family, the government, the people of Lagos State, as well as the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), leaders, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I celebrate my dear friend and brother on his 60th birthday.
“Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, whom I have known for over two decades, is a genius, an administrator par excellence, a seasoned technocrat, and a politician. He is a reliable, hardworking, dependable, supportive, trustworthy, and committed partner in the Greater Lagos agenda of our administration.
