Akinwunmi Ambode, former Lagos State Governor, has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
He emphasized his unshakeable loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement, he dismissed rumors linking him to a governorship run under the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He termed it as baseless and distracting.
He said, “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—and to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress.”
Akinwunmi Ambode described Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” who has implemented significant reforms in areas like pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He mentioned the elimination of fuel scarcity, improved security measures, and people-centric policies as evidence of Tinubu’s effective governance.
He also urged party members and Nigerians to ignore distractions and work towards the APC’s success in 2027. He said, “Let it be clear: I stand solidly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress. We will work together to ensure victory in 2027 and continue delivering the dividends of democracy.”
