The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has said the adoption of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde by the Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as its candidate for the 2027 presidential election has boosted his chances in the race.
APM, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, said Makinde has become the face of the new Nigeria that the people yearn for.
“We are working very hard and putting all our energy into this election because we are running to win.
“We have a good presidential candidate in Governor Makinde, who has already become the rallying point for Nigerians, especially the youth,” the party boasted.
It commended the governor’s performance in Oyo State, claiming that Nigerians have accepted him as the credible alternative to President Bola Tinubu, who, the party said, has failed the nation in every respect.
“We are in this election to win, and there is no going back,” APM stated, noting that since Makinde emerged as its presidential candidate, “Nigerians from across the country are increasingly identifying with our party, with many of them expressing their readiness to mobilise support for the APM and its candidates.”
The party disclosed that its discussions with like-minded political parties are yielding the desired results.
“We welcome the reaffirmation of support by the Ekiti State chapter of the PDP for our presidential candidate, and I can tell you that you will hear more of such solidarity in the coming days.
“Nigerians are expressing support for Governor Makinde because of the distinct governance identity he has built in Oyo State.
“His administration’s record of performance in critical areas, including the economy, security, infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and civil service welfare, continues to attract national attention,” APM stated.
The party added that it is focused on strengthening its structures to win the 2027 presidential election.
“We will run one of the most robust, issue-based, and winning campaigns in the history of Nigeria,” APM promised, assuring Nigerians of safety, prosperity, and improved welfare if it forms the next government.
