Ganduje denounces 2027 presidential aspiration 

Accuses Kwankwasiyya movement of promoting friction

The national chairman of the ruling All progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has denounced his alleged presidential aspiration in 2027.

In a terse statement by his aide on media, Edwin Olofu, the immediate past governor of Kano State disclaimed the poster currently circulating on social media, that he is contesting for the presidency with Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as his running mate in the 2027.

He accused members of the Kwankwasiyya movement of putting out such an impression purely to place him on a collision course with President Bola Tinubu.

“It is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news,” he said, adding: “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.

“We urge the public to disregard this fabricated story and refrain from spreading unverified information.”
