The Tinubu/Ambode Patriots have reiterated that the re-election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the return of former Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode to the Lagos State Government House remain the best options for Nigeria and Lagos State, respectively.
The position was announced by the group’s Coordinator, Mr Dare Dada, during a recent support group meeting in Ikeja, Lagos.
According to Dada, the leadership credentials of President Tinubu at the national level and the proven track record of Ambode in Lagos State make them the most reliable choices to sustain development and accelerate progress across the country and the state.
He noted that the group had already begun strengthening its grassroots structures across Lagos State to ensure widespread mobilisation and support ahead of the next election cycle.
“We are convinced beyond doubt that the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in the best interest of Nigeria. His administration has taken bold and necessary steps aimed at repositioning the country’s economy and governance structure for long-term stability and growth,” Dada said.
“At the same time, Lagos State needs a tested and proven administrator like former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to return to Alausa. His record in office speaks clearly for him, and we believe his return will further accelerate development in the state,” he added.
Dada also stressed that the state requires experienced leadership during this critical period to sustain development momentum.
“Lagos does not need a neophyte at this critical time,” he said. “What the state requires is somebody with the experience and expertise to consolidate on the work already done by the All Progressives Congress-led government and also complement the efforts of the Federal Government.”
Dada said many Lagos residents still recall the former governor’s developmental strides during his tenure between 2015 and 2019.
According to him, the clamour for Ambode’s return continues to grow among residents who believe his leadership brought visible transformation to Lagos State.
“Across Lagos today, many residents still speak about the achievements of Governor Ambode during his first tenure. From massive road construction to improved security architecture and infrastructural renewal, his administration left visible footprints across the state,” he said.
“Lagosians are yearning for his return because they believe he understands the vision of a modern Lagos and possesses the competence and administrative capacity to drive it further. That is why many stakeholders are urging the All Progressives Congress to field the Epe-born politician again.”
Dada therefore called on the group’s senatorial coordinators, local government coordinators and ward leaders across Lagos State to begin early mobilisation efforts at the grassroots.
“Our coordinators at the senatorial, local government and ward levels must go back to the grassroots and begin the work of mobilisation. This is what we have always done as a support group, and we must do it again with greater commitment,” he said.
He urged members to actively engage residents, market leaders, youth groups and community stakeholders across the state to explain why President Tinubu at the national level and Ambode in Lagos represent the best leadership combination for sustained progress.
