The National Chairman, All Progressives Congress APC), on Sunday affirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu amid poster currently circulating on social media that claimed he would contest the presidency in 2027.
According to a statement signed by Mr. Edwin Olofu, the Chief Press Secretary to the APC National Chairman in Kano blamed “mischief-makers, likely in collaboration with certain elements within the Kwankwassiyya movement.”
Mr. Olofu’s statement read in parts : 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.
We urge the public to disregard this fabricated story and refrain from spreading unverified information.
