The Ambode Factor: Why Lagosians Are Calling for His Return in 2027

*The Ambode Factor: Why Lagosians Are Calling for His Return in 2027* 


As the 2027 general elections approach, political conversations in Lagos are taking an interesting turn. Across markets, motor parks, professional circles, and community gatherings, one recurring sentiment stands out  the call for the return of former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Ambode, who governed Lagos State between 2015 and 2019, left behind a legacy that many still describe as transformative and people-oriented. His administration focused on infrastructure, traffic management, environmental reforms, and digital innovation  all geared toward positioning Lagos as a truly modern megacity.

From the upgrade of key road networks to the revamping of waste management systems and the introduction of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, Ambode’s tenure projected a vision of order, security, and structured urban growth. These visible footprints remain points of reference whenever Lagosians discuss leadership that delivered beyond politics.

Today, several years after leaving office, the groundswell of support for his comeback suggests that many citizens believe the state has unfinished business with him. They see in Ambode a technocrat with tested experience  a man who understood governance not as an avenue for political showmanship, but as a duty to serve and deliver results.

The growing “Ambode 2027” sentiment is not merely about nostalgia; it reflects a deeper yearning for leadership anchored on competence, continuity, and character. In a state as complex and dynamic as Lagos, leadership stability and institutional memory are invaluable. Ambode’s re-emergence, his supporters argue, could restore that blend of vision and pragmatism that Lagos urgently needs.

As political alignments begin to take shape ahead of the elections, one thing is clear: the Ambode conversation is far from over. Whether the former governor chooses to answer the people’s call or not, his enduring popularity underscores a powerful message Lagosians have not forgotten performance when they see it.
