Funso Doherty, a prominent political figure, has officially accepted the nomination to run as the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos State for the 2027 elections. The announcement was made via a social media post on Friday, where he expressed profound humility and gratitude for the party’s confidence in him.
In his statement, Doherty emphasized the need for inclusive leadership that prioritizes the welfare of all Lagos residents. He declared that the real work is just beginning and called on supporters to join him in building a better Lagos. His rallying cry, ‘O TI Ya!’, underscores his determination to drive change.
Doherty had earlier defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the NDC, where he initially declared his intention to contest the governorship race. His move to the NDC marks a strategic shift as the 2027 elections approach.
