Obafemi Hamzat, a Lagos state governorship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress, APC, has stepped down for Jide Sanwoolu.
Jide Sanwo-Olu is believed to be the preferred candidate of former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu.
Mr Sanwo-Olu has the backing of the Mandate group, a group loyal to Bola Tinubu.
The incumbent, Akinwumi Ambode, will face Mr Sanwo-Olu on Sunday at the party’s primary election.
