Former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has reaffirmed his full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, dismissing reports linking him to a governorship bid under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement issued Saturday, Ambode described the speculation as “false publications” aimed at creating distractions, stressing his continued loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“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 said.

Ambode commended Tinubu as a result-driven leader whose administration has championed reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth. He also credited the president with tackling fuel scarcity, improving security, and enhancing citizens’ welfare.

“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 added.

Calling for unity among party members and Nigerians, Ambode declared:

“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.”
