Ahead of the 2027 general elections, pro-All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups in Lagos State have started mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and return of Akinwumi Ambode for the second time as governor of Lagos State.

This follows the endorsement of the President by the National Executive Council (NEC) of APC at the NEC meeting held last Wednesday in Abuja.

At the NEC meeting, leaders of the party gave Tinubu an overwhelming vote of confidence with a resounding endorsement and shouts of, “No vacancy in Aso Rock” after the usual song of “On Your Mandate We Stand,” which started when Tinubu arrived at the meeting venue.

According to some groups, who are backing the resolution of the NEC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu National Forum, the vote of confidence is a clear indication that the country under Tinubu is in safe hands.

The groups also called for support for the return of Ambode as the governor of Lagos in 2027 when the tenure of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu comes to an end.

The National Director General of the groups, Dr. Jide Fashola, said the duo of President Tinubu and former Governor Ambode have clearly demonstrated that Nigeria and Lagos State, under their watch, are safe.

He called on the leadership of APC to give Ambode the right of first refusal for the party’s ticket in 2027 as a way for Lagos residents to continue to enjoy Ambode’s developmental projects.

The groups expressed hope that with reforms being carried out by President Tinubu, Nigerians will feel so much relief in the coming days as the reforms have started bearing fruits.
