The 2027 presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, has said his ambition to lead Nigeria in 2027 will not be confined to any particular region.
This is as Governor Makinde said he would embark on a nationwide campaign to present his message for good governance and development to Nigerians across the country.
Speaking on Saturday in Eruwa, shortly after he and his wife, Tamunominini, were conferred with the traditional titles of Aare Asoludero of Ibarapaland and Yeye-Aare Asoludero, respectively, Makinde said his ambition will require him to engage extensively with the people and present his vision for a better Nigeria.
The ceremony was held at the newly commissioned palace of the Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adegbola, and attracted traditional rulers, political leaders, government officials and other dignitaries, including the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Debo Ogundoyin.
According to Makinde, the political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections would require him to engage voters across the country on the platform of the APM.

The governor expressed appreciation to the Eleruwa and the people of Ibarapaland for the honour, saying it came with greater responsibility.
He also appealed to traditional rulers in the state to remain above partisan politics and accord all political actors equal treatment.
“My aspiration to lead Nigeria will not be confined to any particular region. I am prepared to take my message of good governance and development to Nigerians across the country.
“This ambition will require me to engage extensively with the people and present my vision for a better Nigeria to citizens in different parts of the country.
“This honour will further strengthen my commitment to serving the people and contributing to the development of our country.
“I appeal to our Kabiyesis to steer clear of partisan politics and to embrace all political actors without bias. Any monarch who interferes in politics or political matters will be treated as a politician.”
