Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has denied nursing a governorship ambition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress, declaring his support for the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
He vehemently dismissed claims linking him to a governorship ambition under the ADC.
Ambode, in a statement, described reports of his nursing such an ambition as “false publications” intended to cause 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 Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress,” Ambode said.
The former Lagos State governor described Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” whose administration has delivered significant reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
He also pointed to the elimination of fuel scarcity, improved security measures, and policies designed to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Ambode 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.”
He urged party members and Nigerians to ignore political distractions.
“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,” Ambode said.
