The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has rejected claims circulating on social media suggesting that he is running for the presidency in 2027 with Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma as his vice-presidential candidate.
It would be recalled that posters of Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma, seeking a joint presidential ticket for 2027, have surfaced on social media.
The posters indicated that Ganduje who is the current national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), would contest for president, while Uzodinma who is the current Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF), would be his running mate.
The posters which have the slogan, ‘For Nigerians, prosperity and human capital development’ also indicated that the two political gladiators would contest the 2027 election on the platform of the APC.
However, in a statement issued on Sunday, Edwin Olofu, Chief Press Secretary to the APC National Chairman, denounced the posters as false and malicious, attributing them to mischief-makers.
The statement said the individuals behind the posters might be associated with elements within the Kwankwassiyya movement, aiming to sow discord between Ganduje and President Bola Tinubu.
The statement reads: “We wish to clarify that the poster circulating on social media, alleging that APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is campaigning for the presidency in 2027 alongside Governor Uzodimma, is entirely false and a deliberate attempt to spread misinformation.
“The APC firmly asserts that these actions are driven by those seeking to create discord between Dr. Ganduje and President Tinubu. Dr. Ganduje remains steadfastly loyal to President Tinubu and is committed to supporting his vision for Nigeria’s progress and unity.
“We call on the public to disregard this misleading information and to avoid sharing unverified content.”
