Former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has reaffirmed his loyalty to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), dismissing rumours that he plans to run for governor under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement on Saturday, Ambode described the speculation as baseless and intended to create unnecessary distractions. He stressed that his political allegiance remains firmly with the APC, the party under which he governed Lagos between 2015 and 2019, and with President Tinubu, whom he hailed as a mentor and visionary leader.

Ambode credited Tinubu’s administration with notable reforms, including improved pension systems, better access to student loans, initiatives to boost youth empowerment, and policies that have contributed to economic growth. He also highlighted achievements such as ending fuel scarcity, enhancing security, and introducing programs designed to improve citizens’ welfare.

Expressing confidence in Tinubu’s leadership, Ambode said another four years would allow Nigerians to see even greater progress. He called on party members and the public to disregard political distractions and focus on ensuring APC’s victory in the 2027 elections.

According to him, “We will work together to secure another term for President Tinubu so that the dividends of democracy continue to reach every Nigerian.”
