.reiterates loyalty to Tinubu
The National chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has debunked insinuations from a poster circulating on social media that he is nursing ambition for Presidency in the 2027 election and would contest with Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State as his running mate under the platform of his party, the APC.
The poster bearing pictures of Ganduje adorned in blue Babariga as the APC presidential candidate and Uzodinma in white attire and a red cap as his running mate has the captions: “The Winning Team 2027.” “Vote APC 2027 for Nigerians,” “Prosperity and Human Development.”
According to a statement by his spokesman, Edwin Olofu, in Abuja, on Sunday, Ganduje dismissed the poster as an instrument of falsehood and malicious piece of fake news.
He noted that the intention of designing the poster was to sow a seed of discord between him and President Bola Tinubu.
While reaffirming his loyalty to the president, Ganduje stated that Tinubu had put the country on the right path toward development, greatness and prosperity.
He therefore urged the public to disregard the fabricated story regarded as a figment of imagination.
“This is to inform the general public that the poster currently circulating on social media, claiming that the APC national chairman, Abdullahi 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 statement said.
“The All Progressives Congress 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,” it added.
“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.”
