Ambode Refutes ADC Governorship Rumour, Declares Support for Tinubu, APC

Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and pledged support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Dismissing claims that he is eyeing a governorship ticket under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ambode described the reports as “false publications” aimed at causing distractions.
In a statement on Friday, he said: “I wish to publicly reaffirm my absolute and unshakable loyalty to the APC, the party under which I served as Lagos State governor in 2015, and to President Bola Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress.”
He hailed Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader,” citing reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, economic growth, improved security, and the elimination of fuel scarcity as key achievements of his administration.

Ambode expressed confidence that another term for Tinubu would bring even greater progress, urging Nigerians and APC members to ignore political distractions.
“Let it be clear: I stand solidly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC. We will work together to ensure victory in 2027 and continue delivering the dividends of democracy to all Nigerians,” he concluded.
