Some residents have urged the former Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode to the race for the 2027 governorship race, saying he has the Midas touch to transform the state if given the second chance to complete the good job he started.

It would be recalled that Ambode who governed the state from 2015 – 2019 lost the ticket of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) under controversial circumstances during the primary election, a development that denied him a second term in office.

However, residents of the nation’s commercial nerve centre under the aegis of Lagos Residents Association (LRA) in a statement by its President General, Dr. Olumuyiwa Adesanmi urged the Lagos State chapter of the APC to give its governorship ticket to the former governor.

Adesanmi said it is the constitutional right of the one-term governor to seek a second term, saying the circumstances under which he lost the party’s ticket for a second term was suspicious.

The group therefore urged the former governor to in the race to succeed the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu whose second term in office will end in 2027.

He said, “Former Gov. Ambode enjoys humongous among residents of Lagos whose lives he touched positively while in office. We all understand how he lost his bid for a second term in office and not on the ground of performance.

“The legacy he left behind both in human capital development, infrastructure and total transformation of Lagos is still there for all to see.

“We residents of the state are solidly behind him and calling him to come back and complete what he has started in our dear state”, the group demanded.

It has also volunteered to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms of the governing APC for the former governor to contest the 2027 governorship election.

It has gotten so bad that Nigerians are earnestly yearning to go back in time to the good old days of purposeful and responsible leadership.



Come 2027, Nigerians will also be yearning for Goodluck Jonathan to come back and rescue this country from the dungeon the APC janjawiidians have sunk it into.

Ambode will never govern Lagos again. All the people that are clamouring for him should go and buy nomination form for him in PDP. Ambode will never fly APC flag again.

If not that they are mentally deranged, then they would think that he is not the only qualified Lagosian

If Ambode governance lagos by chance with influence of Tinubu dude will not serve the interest of masses but serve his master I believe he has learned his lesson.

Lol

I believe APC won't field Ambode again since he had a fracas with their mandate group and Tinubu himself.

Sanwo-Olu's mediocrity in governing Lagos has opened people's eyes to see that Ambode was a gift to Lagos! See NURTW touts everywhere. BRT has collapsed in many parts of Lagos. Roads are very bad...

If Ambode goes to PDP, I think he stands a very good chance of entering in 2027. Ambode and Fashola are on the same level of excellent governance.

God works in ways beyond our thoughts.

Well, A^2 may be lucky enough to enjoy a comeback but Seyi and that Speaker from Iyana Ipaja should not listen to people pushing them ooo, they just want to set them up for...

COMRADES, even me I want Ambode to return, but will the drug lord residing at Aso Rock allow him? This is the question that I want my Yoruba brothers to answer

Most likely Ambode can make historical return like Donald Trump

Ambode is d only candidate APC can bank on.....any other candidate dey should forget it

It’d be nice to see Ambode return

But those that are not mentally deranged could allow Tinubu who is not from lagos decide for them

Ill prefer that weak man, wetin buhari wey be hard guy do for 8 years.

He had the golden opportunity once (to come back with PDP) but messed it up with the "Baba so pe" syndrome. Nonsense.
