Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a socio-political organization, Ambode Support Group (ASG) is drumming support for the return of former governor of Lagos, Akinwumi Ambode as chief executive of the state for a second term.
Recall that Ambode who governed the state from 2015-2019 lost the ticket of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC) during the primary election, a development that denied him a second term in office.
However, ASG believes the people of the state still have a fond memory of the legacy he left behind while in office, seeking for his return to office.
In a statement on Thursday, the deputy director in charge of mobilization in Ambode Support Group, Dr. Olumuyiwa Adesanmi said the impactful projects the former governor left behind in the eight years of his administration still touch the lives of the people in many positive ways till date, saying
He said since the return of civilian rule, Ambode is one of the finest Governors to have presided over the activities of the states and delivered results that have strengthened the peoples’ living standards of living.
He said, “Former Gov. Ambode enjoys humongous support among residents of Lagos whose lives he touched positively while in office. We all understand how he lost his bid for a second term in office and not on the ground of performance.
“The legacy he left behind both in human capital development, infrastructure and total transformation of Lagos is still there for all to see.
“Lagosians have demonstrated solidarity and support, which is evidently seen in their call for him to come back and complete what he has started in our dear state”.
ASG also volunteered to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms of the governing APC if Ambode indicates interest to join in the race.
