The Action Grassroot Alliance for Hakeem Muri-Okunola, a faction within the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, has publicly supported Hakeem Muri-Okunola's candidacy for the 2027 governorship election. At a press briefing in Ikeja, the group's Director-General, Mrs. Salewa Adegbenro, emphasized Muri-Okunola's potential to lead Lagos toward a brighter future, urging him to respond to the demand of the populace and position himself as a candidate.

Further amplifying the endorsement, Ziggy Ibeh, the media director of the group, advocated for Muri-Okunola's competence and preparedness to take on the gubernatorial mantle. His previous role as the Head of Service in Lagos State lends credence to his capabilities in governance, and the endorsements highlight a belief that he can successfully continue the developmental agenda set by the current administration.

This support for Muri-Okunola is indicative of the political machinations and alliances forming ahead of the 2027 elections, and it marks the beginning of his potential campaign as various factions position themselves for a strong showing in the upcoming governorship race. The backing of such a group can significantly enhance his visibility and viability as a candidate within the contested political landscape of Lagos State.
