The APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, has rejected rumors of his 2027 presidential candidacy following the circulation of posters featuring him and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Ganduje clarified that he is not seeking to compete for President Bola Tinubu’s role.
In a statement issued by his chief press secretary, the former Kano State governor dismissed the proliferation of the posters as the deceptive actions of troublemakers.
The statement said, “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.
“The 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,” it added.
The APC National Chairman told people to ignore the fake news and not share information that hasn’t been confirmed.
