Lagos APC stakeholders reveal suitable 2027 governorship candidate

Stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos are advocating for the gubernatorial candidacy of former governor Akinwunmi Ambode for the 2027 elections.

Citing Ambode’s remarkable track record during his previous tenure, Oluwaseyi Bamigbade, a prominent APC member, emphasized Ambode’s transformative impact on the state’s infrastructure landscape.

Bamigbade highlighted Ambode’s achievements, including infrastructural development, educational reforms, and innovative security initiatives such as the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Agency.

Bamigbede said, ‘’Within four years in office, he remodelled Lagos, making it an investment destination for big businesses from within and outside the country. He massively touched the lives of millions of Lagosians in every sphere such that it would appear as if he had been in office for a far longer period.

‘’He caused a paradigm shift, taking the government from the urban centre to the suburbs and opening up their narrow roads, giving them modern streets with lights that also link the arterial highways. It’s been a seamless arrangement that has prevented traffic glut on the expressways.

‘’Ambode’s health and education initiatives equally penetrated across suburbs in Lagos, giving opportunities to the son of a nobody to have access to free and decent education that would prepare them for the future. Understanding the place of science in the current educational system, during his tenure in office, Ambode established templates suggesting a progressive look into the future where science and tech will lead.’’
