President Bola Tinubu and Akinwunmi Ambode, the former Lagos governor
Akinwunmi Ambode, the former Lagos governor, has reaffirmed his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu re-election bid.
In a statement on Friday, Ambode refuted claims linking him to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The former governor described the reports as “false publications” intended to cause 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 described Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” whose administration has delivered significant reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
Ambode also pointed to the elimination of fuel scarcity, improved security measures, and policies 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 said.
