The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has distanced himself from the viral poster of himself and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma as running mates for the 2027 presidential election.
Ganduje noted this in a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu on Sunday in Abuja, describing the development as “entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news”.
The APC chairman described the action as the work of mischief makers working in collaboration with elements of the Kwankwasiyya movement to cause discord between him and President Bola Tinubu by circulating 2027 presidential posters of himself and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma as running mates.
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.
