National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje has denied speculated 2027 presidential ambition.
Posters of Ganduje and Imo state Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinnma for the APC 2027 presidential ticket, pairing the duo as Presidential and Vice Presidential aspirants, respectively have been trending on social media.
But Ganduje’s Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, in a statement dismissed the media report.
Olofu said those smarting to cause dissaffection between his principal and President Bola Tinubu were behind the posters.
He appealed to the party faithful and the general public to disregard it.
His statement reads in part: “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. ”
