Lagos Support Groups Rally Support For Tinubu, Ambode

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, pro-All Progressives Congress support groups in Lagos State have started mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and Akinwumi Ambode’s return for the second time as governor.

This follows the President’s endorsement by the National Executive Council of APC at the NEC meeting held last Wednesday in Abuja.

At the NEC meeting, the party leaders gave Tinubu an overwhelming vote of confidence with a resounding endorsement and shouts of “No vacancy in Aso Rock” after the usual song of “On your mandate, we stand,” which started when Tinubu arrived at the meeting venue.

Some groups backing the NEC resolution, such as the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu National Forum, said the vote of confidence indicates that the country under Tinubu is in safe hands.

It also called for support for Ambode’s return to Lagos as governor in 2027, when Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s tenure ends.

The group’s National Director General, Dr Jide Fashola, said President Tinubu and former Gov. Ambode have demonstrated that Nigeria and Lagos state are safe under their watch.

He called on the leadership of APC to give Ambode the right of first refusal for the party’s ticket in 2027 as a way for Lagosians to continue to enjoy Ambode’s developmental projects.

The group hoped that Nigerians would feel relief in the coming days as President Tinubu’s reforms started bearing fruit.
