Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and thrown his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
In a statement on Friday, Ambode dismissed reports linking him to a governorship ambition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing them as “false publications” 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,” he said.

The former governor praised Tinubu as a “proven achiever and result-oriented leader” whose government has implemented key reforms in pensions, student loan accessibility, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
Ambode also highlighted the administration’s achievements in ending fuel scarcity, strengthening security, and introducing policies to improve citizens’ welfare.
“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 stated.
Urging party members and Nigerians to shun political distractions, he declared: “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.”
