[LIVE] Hamzat, Rhodes-Vivour, Doherty Face Off As 2027 Elections Debate Series Begins In Lagos

The Nigeria Debate Consortium, a series of debates for the 2027 general elections in Nigeria, has begun with the Lagos governorship debate.

The debate is the first in the series organised by the consortium, which comprises Channels Television, TVC News, Punch Newspaper, The Cable, and Vanguard Newspaper, in selected battleground states ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Lagos debate is currently being held at The Hub by IALA, House of His Glory, Plot 18, Providence Road, beside Keystone Bank, Marwa, in the Lekki area of Lagos.

Among the major contenders for the Lagos governorship seat are incumbent Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Funso Doherty of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and Deji Doherty of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The initiative provides a credible, non-partisan platform for participating candidates to present their agendas, defend their policy choices and respond to questions on the issues that matter most to Lagos residents.

It also provides an opportunity for voters to put the candidates’ capacity, ideas and priorities — from transportation and infrastructure to security, housing, education, healthcare, job creation and economic growth — under public scrutiny before the February 6, 2027, governorship elections.

Join our live broadcast of the debate below or via our social media platforms.
