Ganduje: I’m not contesting for 2027 presidency

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, says he has no plans to contest the 2027 presidential election with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as his running mate.

Ganduje made this known via a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, on Sunday, August 18, 2024.

Olofu described the rumour as false, saying the APC chairman remains loyal to President Bola Tinubu.

He added that the immediate past governor of Kano State is also committed to supporting the president’s vision and leadership.

Olofu stated: “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 Uzodimma, as his running mate, is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.

‘It’s laughable’: Ganduje speaks on stolen corruption charges documents

“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.”
