A political support group, Grassroot Youths For Good Governance (GYGG), has thrown its weight behind the return of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of Lagos State in the 2027 general elections. The group also declared its full support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos on Monday, the National Coordinator of the group, Engr. Mike Kayode, described Ambode as a visionary leader whose first term as governor left an indelible mark on the state.
“Lagos witnessed a golden era under Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. His administration stood out for massive infrastructure renewal, an efficient and modernized transport system, and a business-friendly environment that attracted both local and foreign investors,” Kayode said.
He added that Ambode’s return would bring about a renewed focus on inclusive development, technological advancement, and economic prosperity, especially for youths and grassroots communities.
“Lagosians deserve a leader who understands the challenges of the state and has a proven track record of performance. Ambode ticks all the boxes,” he stressed.
The group also applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold leadership and reform-driven agenda at the national level, noting that his return in 2027 would consolidate the gains recorded so far.
“President Tinubu has shown resilience in steering Nigeria through tough reforms. We are confident that with continued support, he will lead the country into greater economic stability and national cohesion,” Kayode added.
Also at the press conference, the Director General of Ambode Support Group, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade urged all adults of election age to utilise the opportunity of the forthcoming continous voter registration exercise to get their PVC in order to exercise their franchise.
He also called on Lagos residents and Nigerians at large to unite behind capable and tested leaders like Ambode and Tinubu, noting that their leadership would ensure a brighter future for the country.
