Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos state and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2027 election, says he did not have the phone number of Damilola James before the party selected her as his running mate.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu delegated the responsibility of choosing his running mate to the Lagos APC after agreeing that the position should go to a young woman.
Hamzat spoke on Thursday at the public presentation of Who Is She?, a book written by James.
