Social media was abuzz with posters suggesting that Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), would be running for president in 2027.
The posters also indicated that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma would be his vice-presidential candidate.

These campaign materials, which bore the slogan "For Nigerians, prosperity and human capital development," took many by surprise. However, Ganduje swiftly debunked these claims.
In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje described the speculations as “entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.”
He accused mischief-makers, possibly aligned with the Kwankwasiyya movement, of orchestrating the move to create disaffection between him and President Bola Tinubu.
“This is to inform the general public that the posters currently circulating on social media, claiming that the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is contesting for the presidency in 2027 with Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as his running mate, is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news,” the statement read.
Ganduje reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Tinubu, emphasizing his commitment 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,” the statement continued.
