A former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode has announced that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed him the deputy chairman of the south-west subcommittee of the Contact and Strategy Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ambode has been quiet in the political terrain after the Lagos APC denied him a second term ticket.
He was said to have fallen out of favour with the party’s strongman in Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
But as the 2023 electioneering draws near, Ambode appears to be bouncing back to relevance with his appointment as deputy chairman of the contact and strategy committee of the party.
Ambode announced via his verified Twitter handle that his appointment will strengthen and unite the party in the south-west region.
“I was recently appointed as Deputy Chairman of the Southwest subcommittee of the Contact & Strategy Committee of our great party (APC), to help deepen & consolidate gains of the party in the region, prepare it as a strong & viable institution for the present & foreseeable future,” he said.
The committee comprises 61 members.
Some members of the committee are Governors Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Babagana Zulum of Borno, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Aminu Masari of Katsina, Simon Lalong of Plateau, Hope Uzodinma of Imo, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, David Umahi of Ebonyi, and Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano.
