Ambode denies ADC defection rumours, backs Tinubu for Second Term

Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has reaffirmed his loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging full support for the President’s 2027 re-election campaign.

In a statement on Saturday, Ambode dismissed reports linking him to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing them as false and aimed at causing 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 Ahmed Tinubu, my leader, mentor, and a tireless champion for Nigeria’s progress,” Ambode said.

He praised Tinubu as a proven achiever whose administration has driven reforms in pensions, student loans, youth empowerment, and economic growth.

Ambode also commended the President for ending fuel scarcity, improving security, and introducing policies to enhance the lives of 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,” he added.

Ambode urged party members and Nigerians to ignore distractions and remain committed to the APC’s progress.

“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 concluded.
