Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has openly pledged his unwavering support for the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027, firmly dismissing rumours of a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement issued on Saturday, Ambode described the reports as “false publications” aimed at distracting the public and causing political mischief. He reiterated his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leadership.
“I wish to publicly reaffirm my absolute and unshakable loyalty to the APC, the party under which I had the privilege of serving Lagos State as governor in 2015, and to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress,” Ambode said.
The former governor lauded President Tinubu’s administration for implementing reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He also credited the government with ending fuel scarcity, improving security, and introducing policies that enhance the welfare of everyday Nigerians.
“His focus, determination, and inclusive governance style are restoring hope and delivering tangible results. I am convinced that, given another four years, Nigerians will have even greater reason to celebrate,” he stated.
