Within the campaign council itself, Sanwo-Olu serves as Chairman, with his deputy, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, occupying the role of Deputy Chairman.
According to Vanguard, the three vice-chairman positions go to Ojelabi Cornelius (Vice Chairman I), Obasa (Vice Chairman II), and Damilola Sonayon James (Vice Chairman III).
Former Senator Musiliu Obanikoro is named Director-General of the council, with Rasaq Ajala as Deputy Director-General and Adekunle Olayinka as Campaign Secretary.
The council is structured across several directorates and sub-committees, covering areas such as legal and compliance, party and inter-party affairs, administration and logistics, traditional institutions, diaspora engagement, and residents' associations.

APC guber candidate accused of oath of allegiance to US
Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that ADC governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour raised fresh questions about APC's Obafemi Hamzat's eligibility to contest the Lagos guber election.
Rhodes-Vivour said his legal team challenged Hamzat's candidacy over testimony that Hamzat swore an oath of allegiance to America.
An immigration lawyer testified before the Lagos election tribunal in 2023 that Hamzat had gone through the US naturalisation process.
