Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has announced his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Lagos, while also declaring support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ambode made his position known in Badagry during a sensitisation programme on Permanent Voter Card (PVC) registration.
Represented by the Director General of the Tinubu-Ambo Support Group, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, the former governor urged residents to register and collect their PVCs ahead of the polls.
He noted that President Tinubu had laid a strong foundation for national growth and deserved a second term to consolidate on his achievements.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven his capacity to lead this country with vision and courage. I call on Lagosians and Nigerians at large to ensure he gets a second term in 2027 so we can all continue to benefit from his progressive leadership,” Ambode said.
On his personal ambition, Ambode declared that he was offering himself to serve Lagos once again, with a renewed vision to build on past gains and respond to present challenges.
The sensitisation exercise, according to Bamigbade, is aimed at mobilising residents for active participation in the democratic process.
“Our message is clear: no PVC, no voting. We believe both President Tinubu and Mr. Ambode represent continuity, progress, and people-focused governance,” he stated.
