Sanwo-Olu, who recently completed his second term as governor, is now being positioned for a legislative role. Party leaders believe his experience and popularity will strengthen the APC’s presence in the Assembly.

The endorsement is seen as a strategic decision to keep influential figures within the party active.

This development comes as preparations for future elections gather momentum. Many APC members have welcomed the decision, describing Sanwo-Olu as a loyal and capable leader. His possible return to active politics is expected to boost the party’s chances in the constituency he plans to represent.

The former governor has not yet made any official comment on the endorsement. However, his acceptance is widely anticipated given his long-standing relationship with the APC. Political analysts say this move could reshape the dynamics within the Lagos APC.

As the news spreads, attention is now on how other aspirants and party members will react. The endorsement of Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the Assembly seat has added fresh excitement to Lagos politics and raised questions about the party’s long-term strategy.
