The media reports also have it that Ambode may want to leave the party because Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s national leader and a former governor of Lagos State may have withdrawn his support for Ambode’s re-election bid.

The reports claimed that Ambode might move to the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) or Action Democratic Congress(ADC), both of which are part of the Coalition of Political Parties(CUPP).

Subsequent upon this, President Buhari’s aide on new media, Bashir Ahmad has said the Lagos State governor has debunked such claims. According to Ahmad, when he told Ambode that rumours of his defection were rift on social media, the governor said “‘I’m here in Beijing in president Buhari’s entourage.”
