Former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Oluranti Idiat Adebule, has been tipped by the Governor Advisory Council, GAC, to return as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s running mate.

The GAC is the de facto body that runs the affairs of the State politically for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. It has unanimously agreed that the former Deputy Governor who was also the Commissioner for Education during former Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration return as the Deputy to the incumbent. Sanwo-Olu already has the endorsement of the GAC to run for a second term.

Political observers have said that the antecedents of Adebule may have paved the way for her coming back as the number two citizen in the State.

There is speculation that the present Deputy Governor in the State, Obafemi Hamzat, is being tipped to run for the Senatorial Seat. In a matter of weeks, Adebule will be presented to Lagosians as the next Deputy Governor of the State.

Adebule famously, during the Governorship Primary in 2019, stood on the queue for Sanwo-Olu against his then boss, Ambode, in one of the most celebrated political  betrayals in the State.
