Akinwunmi Ambode, the former Lagos State Governor, has announced his candidacy for the 2027 Lagos governorship election and pledged support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Ambode expressed his views in Badagry during a programme aimed at raising awareness about the registration of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, Director General of the Tinubu-Ambo Support Group, on behalf of the former governor, encouraged residents to register and collect their PVCs before the polls, citing that President Tinubu merits re-election to build upon the solid foundation he has established for national growth.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven his capacity to lead this country with vision and courage. I call on Lagosians and Nigerians at large to ensure he gets a second term in 2027 so we can all continue to benefit from his progressive leadership,” Ambode said.
Ambode revealed his personal ambition, affirming his willingness to serve Lagos again with a new vision to build upon past accomplishments and address current challenges.
Bamigbade pointed out that the sensitisation exercise is designed to motivate residents to participate actively in the democratic process.
“Our message is clear: no PVC, no voting. We believe both President Tinubu and Mr. Ambode represent continuity, progress, and people-focused governance,” he stated
