A support group has unveiled an interactive chatbot, Ask KOH, to give Lagos residents easier access to Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat 2027 manifesto.

The platform is designed as a digital engagement channel for Hamzat governorship campaign. It allows residents to ask questions, explore policy commitments and engage with the agenda contained in The Lagos Promise.

Ask KOH gives each user 10 free questions to ask Hamzat through the platform. Users can put their concerns to the candidate through the chat, while the platform town halls provide another way to raise issues affecting particular communities.

Residents can also browse individual policy commitments from The Lagos Promise, rather than relying only on broad campaign statements or media summaries.

The chatbot went live in late October 2026, just days before Hamzat was scheduled to unveil his full governorship manifesto. The timing was deliberate. The platform gives residents a place to ask questions about his record and plans at the exact moment public attention on those plans is rising. It allows people to put questions directly rather than waiting for the formal unveiling or for summaries of it.

Hamzat presented the manifesto, titled The Lagos Promise, on Friday, October 30, at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Iganmu, Lagos, describing it as a social contract through which residents could assess his administration performance. The manifesto is organised around seven pillars: People First, Renewal, Opportunity, Machinery of Government, Inclusion, Security and Resilience, and Everyday Dignity. He said 87 of the 100 pledges were firm commitments within the state government powers, while the remaining 13 would require consultations with the Federal Government and other institutions.

Ask KOH is presented as a lower barrier option for engagement. A resident with a specific question about experience, traffic, housing, jobs or continuity can put it in writing without needing a media platform or a physical event. The platform brings together direct questions to Hamzat, community engagement, digital town halls and access to individual manifesto commitments.

As The Lagos Promise is presented, residents can use Ask KOH to move beyond broad campaign statements and ask more specific questions about what the proposals mean for their wards, livelihoods and daily lives.

For his first 100 days in office, Hamzat proposed introducing a bill to establish a Child Protection and Nutrition Agency, which would support children below 18 to remain in school or acquire vocational skills while having access to adequate nutrition. He also promised to establish a Lagos State Service Delivery Office to monitor government performance and a state wealth fund with an independent board and publicly accessible accounts.

On transportation, he promised to increase Lagos public bus fleet from 1,000 to 4,000, with a target of moving one million passengers daily.

For the Hamzat campaign, Ask KOH is part of a wider push to use digital tools for grassroots mobilisation ahead of 2027. Supporters say the chatbot could help voters understand the manifesto in simpler terms and hold the candidate accountable to specific pledges. Whether it changes voter behaviour will depend on how widely it is adopted across Lagos communities and how promptly questions are answered. For now, the group says the platform is open to residents who want to engage directly with Hamzat agenda.
