Former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has officially declared his full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
In a statement released on Saturday, Ambode pledged his unwavering commitment to Tinubu’s campaign and dismissed rumours linking him to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Describing the reports as “false publications” intended to cause distractions, the former governor reaffirmed his loyalty to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
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 Ahmed Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress.”
Ambode praised Tinubu as a proven, result-oriented leader whose administration has delivered major reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and national economic growth.
He also highlighted achievements such as the elimination of fuel scarcity, enhanced security measures, and policies aimed at improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
He added, “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.”
Urging party members and Nigerians to disregard political distractions, Ambode concluded, “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.”
