The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed as “fake and malicious” social media campaign posters suggesting he plans to run against President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje attributed the posters to “mischief makers” aiming to create disaffection between him and President Tinubu.
The posters had indicated Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma as Ganduje’s running mate. However, Ganduje reaffirmed his loyalty to President Tinubu and commitment to supporting his vision and leadership, according to Daily Post.
The APC has urged the public to disregard the “fabricated story” and refrain from spreading unverified information.
The statement reads: “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 Uzodinma, 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.
