Ambode denies ADC ticket speculation, declares support for Tinubu


Former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

Ambode said his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress and its leader was “absolute and unshakable,” rejecting claims linking him to the African Democratic Congress.

He described the report of a governorship run on the ADC platform as “false publications designed to distract and mislead.”

“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 — and to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress,” Ambode said.

The former governor praised President Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” whose administration had initiated bold reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth.

Ambode also noted the end of fuel scarcity, improved security, and people-centred policies as evidence of renewed hope for Nigerians.

“His focus, determination, and inclusive governance style are delivering tangible results. Given another four years, Nigerians will have even greater reason to celebrate,” he said.

He urged Nigerians and party members to disregard political distractions, pledging to work for the APC’s success in the 2027 elections.

“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 and continue delivering the dividends of democracy,” he said.

Ambode’s declaration comes amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the general elections, with the former governor stressing that his political future remains tied to the APC and its leader.
