National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje has addressed the circulation of his 2027 presidential campaign poster alongside Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, on social media.
The former Kano State Governor dismissed the poster as a fabrication, attributing it to those seeking to create discord between him and President Bola Tinubu.
He said that the poster is the work of individuals likely associated with the Kwankwasiyya movement, aimed at sowing division within the party.
The poster, which bears the slogan “For Nigerians, prosperity and human capital development,” revealed that Ganduje and Uzodinma would run on the APC ticket in the 2027 election.
However, Ganduje, through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, made it clear that the poster is entirely false and should be disregarded.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to President Tinubu and said he is commited to supporting the President’s leadership and vision for Nigeria.
The statement reads, “This is to inform the general public that the posters 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.”
