Former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Lagos, while also pledging support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Ambode, represented by Dr. Seyi Bamigbade, Director-General of the Tinubu-Ambo Support Group, made the announcement in Badagry during a sensitization programme on Permanent Voter Card (PVC) registration.

He urged Lagosians to register and collect their PVCs, noting that Tinubu had laid a strong foundation for national growth and deserved a second term.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven his capacity to lead 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.

On his ambition, Ambode said he was offering himself to serve Lagos once again, with a renewed vision to build on past gains and address current challenges.

According to Bamigbade, the sensitization drive aims to mobilize citizens for active participation in democracy. “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.
