Ambode Reaffirms Loyalty To APC, Backs Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election Bid

Former Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode has reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

In a statement on Friday, Ambode dismissed reports linking him to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing them as “false publications” aimed at causing distractions.

“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,” he stated.

Ambode praised Tinubu as a proven achiever and result-oriented leader, highlighting his administration’s reforms in pensions, student loan access, youth empowerment, economic growth, and the elimination of fuel scarcity. He also pointed to improved security measures and policies aimed at enhancing the lives of ordinary 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 said.

He called on party members and Nigerians to ignore political distractions, adding, “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.”
