A former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has dismissed rumors of a governorship bid under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), reaffirming his commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign.
In a statement released today, Saturday, August 9, Ambode described the speculations as “false publications” designed to create political distractions.
Ambode praised Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader,” highlighting key reforms under the current administration.
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 in 2015, and to President Bola Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress.
“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.
“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.”
