A former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid and the All Progressives Congress.
Ambode, in a statement on Saturday, denied any connection to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress.
The former governor described the reports as “false publications” aimed at creating 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.
He described Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” whose administration had delivered significant reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
Stating the President’s achievements, Ambode noted that the elimination of fuel scarcity, improved security measures, and policies were designed to improve 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 added.
He urged party members and Nigerians to ignore political distractions, saying, “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.”
