2027: APC Chairman, Ganduje Takes Firm Stand On Contesting Against Tinubu After Posters Surfaced

APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed as fake and malicious the circulating campaign posters suggesting he intends to run against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

In a statement released on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje attributed the posters, which pair him with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma as his running mate, to “mischief makers.”

The statement clarified: “The poster circulating on social media, claiming that Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is contesting for the presidency in 2027 with Governor Hope Uzodinma as his running mate, is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.”

The APC asserted that this is the work of “mischief-makers, likely in collaboration with certain elements within the Kwankwassiyya movement, who aim to create disaffection between Dr. Ganduje and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

The statement further emphasized Ganduje’s unwavering loyalty to President Tinubu, stating, “Dr. Ganduje is fully committed to supporting the President’s vision and leadership, believing that Tinubu is steering Nigeria towards greater prosperity and unity.”

The public was urged to disregard the fabricated story and refrain from spreading unverified information.
