BREAKING: Makinde Declares 2027 Presidential Ambition Under APM
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has officially declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election under the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Makinde made the announcement on Thursday during a political rally held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, amid ongoing political realignments in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The governor’s declaration follows a recent alliance between a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State and the APM.
Makinde had earlier led the Taminu Turaki faction of the PDP in signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the APM as part of a strategic move ahead of the elections.
Under the agreement, candidates aligned with the PDP faction seeking elective positions, including governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly seats, are expected to contest under the APM platform in the 2027 elections instead of the PDP.
