Funso Doherty joins ADC Lagos governorship race

A former Lagos State governorship candidate Funso Doherty has declared his intention to contest the 2027 Lagos governorship election under the African Democratic Congress.

The declaration was made on Friday at an ADC meeting and announced by ADC Vanguard, the coalition mobilization wing of the party, on X.

“With all humility, I would like to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of Lagos state,” Doherty said in a video clip shared by the group.

ADC Vanguard said the party had a strong candidate in Lagos in Doherty.

“Indeed the ADC (the main opposition party) has a strong and sellable candidate in Lagos State,” it posted.
