2027: I’m loyal to you leader – Ambode tells Tinubu
Tinubu, Ambode
Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has pledged his full support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election campaign in 2027, distancing himself from reports linking him to a governorship bid under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement personally signed, Ambode reaffirmed his “absolute and unshakable loyalty” to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and to Tinubu, whom he described as his “leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress.”
He lauded Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader,” highlighting reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and economic growth under the current administration.
“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,” he said.
Ambode served as Lagos governor from 2015 to 2019 before losing the APC governorship primary to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, following a fallout with Tinubu and the party leadership.
