2027: Group Drums Support For Ambode

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a socio-political organisation, Ambode Support Group (ASG), has given reasons why many Lagos residents are drumming support for the return of a former governor of the state, Akinwumi Ambode, as chief executive of the state for a second term.

Recall that Ambode, who governed the state from 2015-2019, lost the ticket of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the primary election, a development that denied him a second term in office.

ASG has said the people of the state still have a sound memory of the legacy he left behind while in office, seeking for his return to office.

The deputy director in charge of mobilization, ASG, Dr Olumuyiwa Olusi who revealed this to journalists in Lagos said the impactful projects that the former governor left behind in the four years of his administration still touch the lives of the people in many positive ways to date.

He said that since the return of civilian rule, Ambode is one of the finest governors to have presided over the activities of the state and delivered results that have strengthened the peoples’ living standards of living.

He said, “Former Gov Ambode enjoys humongous support among residents of Lagos whose lives he touched positively while in office. We all understand how he lost his bid for a second term in office and not on the ground of performance.

“The legacy he left behind both in human capital development, infrastructure and total transformation of Lagos is still there for all to see.

“Lagosians have demonstrated solidarity and support, which is evidently seen in their call for him to come back and complete what he has started in our dear state.”

ASG also volunteered to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms of the governing APC if Ambode indicated interest to join the race.
