APC names Damilola Sonayon-James as Lagos deputy governorship candidate – Report
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has picked Princess Damilola Sonayon-James as its deputy governorship candidate for the forthcoming Lagos State governorship election.
Western Post gathered from reliable sources that Sonayon-James will run alongside incumbent Deputy Governor Femi Hamzat, who recently emerged as the party’s governorship candidate.
A grassroots politician, Sonayon-James currently serves as the Assistant State Woman Leader of the APC in Lagos. She is also an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) expert and Sustainability Risk Consultant, and has built a career spanning public service, community development and political mobilisation.
The APC chieftain hails from the royal family of Kweme Kingdom in Badagry West Local Council Development Area (LCDA), where she has established a strong presence in grassroots politics and community engagement.
Before her current role in the party, she served as Supervisory Councillor for Agriculture and Social Services in Badagry West LCDA.
An official announcement from the party is expected in the coming days.
