The endorsement took place on Tuesday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State 2025 Stakeholders Forum, which was attended by top political figures, traditional rulers, and representatives of various interest groups across the state.
The Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Jubril Gawat, announced the development in a statement and video shared on his X handle.

Also in attendance were members of the National and State Assemblies, local government chairmen, traditional rulers, market leaders, and youth representatives led by Dayo Israel.
A video snippet from the event showed that the motion to endorse President Tinubu was moved by the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabiru Shotobi, and seconded by the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa.
“On behalf of traditional rulers in Lagos State, I, Ayangburen of Ikorodu, HRM Oba Kabiru Shotobi, hereby endorse President Tinubu to go for a second term,” Oba Shotobi declared.
Supporting the motion, Speaker Obasa added, “On behalf of my colleagues from Lagos State and the people of Lagos State, I so second.”
