2027: Seyi Makinde Is The Best Man To Defeat Tinubu – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement has thrown its weight behind Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, as the preferred candidate for a possible opposition alliance against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The party recently had its say via National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Urging other opposition presidential aspirants to put aside personal ambitions and support Makinde, Abubakar described the Oyo State governor as the strongest prospect of defeating the incumbent.

He added that consultations among opposition parties are progressing and the objective is to build a formidable political platform against the APC.

His words, “I can confirm to you that discussions and consultations among opposition parties are going on well and reaching an advanced stage on the issue of a single presidential candidate.

Without prejudice to the outcome of the consultations, Governor Makinde comes clearer as the best opposition consensus presidential candidate.

It is a delicate issue that touches on interests. But most importantly, we, especially in the APM, are listening to Nigerians. What Nigerians want is for opposition parties to come together, form a strong front and defeat President Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Go across the country and ask questions. You will notice that Nigerians want a new beginning. They want a leader with new and practical ideas, not theories and finger-pointing; a leader with answers and solutions, and Governor Makinde fits into the frame.

He is the only candidate with the blueprint to secure the nation, revamp the economy, create new jobs and revitalise our comatose infrastructure. This is a fact that you can verify.

Also, don’t overlook the fact that Makinde is from the South, that is having regard to the sentiment that the South should be allowed to replace President Tinubu to complete the remaining four-year tenure after which power will go to the North.

I cannot speak for them. What is important now is for all stakeholders to set aside their personal interests and support Governor Makinde, who we insist is best positioned to defeat President Tinubu at the election.”
