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

In a statement on Friday, Ambode dismissed media reports claiming he planned to contest the Lagos governorship under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing them as “false publications” aimed at distracting the public.

 “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,” citing reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He also credited the administration with ending fuel scarcity, improving security, and introducing policies to uplift 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 stated.

 “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.”
