Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring full support for the President’s re-election bid in 2027.

 

In a statement issued on Saturday, Ambode dismissed as “false publications” reports suggesting he was nursing a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He described such claims as deliberate distractions aimed at creating division within the ruling party.

 

“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 praised Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader,” lauding the administration’s reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He also credited the President with eliminating fuel scarcity, improving security, and introducing policies designed to better the lives of 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,” Ambode stated.

 

He urged APC members and Nigerians at large to ignore political distractions and remain steadfast in their commitment to the party’s goals.

 

“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 to continue delivering the dividends of democracy to all Nigerians,” he concluded.
