The Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Obafemi Hamzat, has revealed that he did not have the phone number of his running mate, Damilola James, until she emerged as the party’s deputy governorship candidate.
Hamzat disclosed this on Thursday while recounting the process that led to the selection of James during the public presentation of Who Is She?, held at the Syrian Club Event Centre, Ikoyi, Lagos.
He said although he played a role in shaping the qualities the party wanted in a running mate, he had never personally interacted with James before her emergence.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu asked party leaders to resolve the issue of the running mate among themselves after he suggested that the deputy should be a woman and a young person.
