A support group for Lagos State Deputy Governor Kadri Obafemi Hamzat has launched an interactive digital platform to help residents access his manifesto and proposed development plans ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The platform, called Ask KOH, was introduced by the Kadri Obafemi Hamzat (KOH) Impact Network to make Hamzat’s vision and policy priorities easier for residents to explore through an interactive chatbot.
The group’s Communications Manager, Oreoluwa Ojo, announced the initiative in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Tuesday.
She said the launch followed the unveiling of Hamzat’s manifesto, titled The Lagos Promise (Ìlérí Èkó), which outlines proposed interventions across key sectors of the state.
Through the chatbot, residents can ask questions, search different sections of the manifesto and obtain information about proposed plans for transportation, healthcare, education, infrastructure, housing, security and economic opportunities.
A major feature of the platform is its community-level approach, which allows users to direct enquiries to their respective local government areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
According to Ojo, this feature is intended to help residents understand how the proposals relate to issues affecting their communities and examine the manifesto from a local perspective.
She said the initiative was designed to bridge the information gap between policy proposals and citizens by making the document more accessible, searchable and easier to understand.
The group added that the platform would provide an additional channel for public engagement beyond conventional campaign communications.
Residents can access Ask KOH through www.askkoh.com, where they can interact with the chatbot and explore the proposed development agenda.
The launch comes as political activities and consultations gather momentum ahead of the 2027 Lagos governorship election. Hamzat, who has served as deputy governor since 2019, is seeking to succeed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
However, the platform is an initiative of the support group and should not be confused with an official Lagos State Government public-service portal. The proposals available through it represent Hamzat’s stated policy agenda rather than existing government programmes.
The initiative highlights the growing use of digital communication tools by political organisations to explain policy positions and engage voters ahead of elections.
