Posters: Ganduje Distances Self From 2027 Presidential Bid

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje has dissociated himself from a 2027 presidential bid poster in circulation with the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma as his running mate.

Ganduje described the poster as entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.

The APC chairman, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu attributed the poster to mischief makers, especially suspecting collaboration with certain elements within the Kwankwassiyya Movement, who he said are determined to create disaffection between him and President Bola Tinubu.

“This is to inform the general public that the poster currently circulating on social media, claiming that the APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is contesting for the presidency in 2027 with Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as his running mate, is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to categorically state that this is the work of mischief-makers, likely in collaboration with certain elements within the Kwankwassiyya Movement, who are determined to create disaffection between Dr. Ganduje and His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje remains unwaveringly loyal to President Tinubu and is fully committed to supporting the President’s vision and leadership.

“Dr Ganduje believes that President Tinubu is on the right trajectory to steer Nigeria towards greater prosperity and unity,”

He urged the public to disregard “this fabricated story and refrain from spreading unverified information.”
