2027: Alliance talks yielding results for Makinde, APM

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) is actively seeking to build a coalition for the 2027 Nigerian presidential election, rallying support for Governor Seyi Makinde. The party's national publicity secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, stated that alliance talks with other opposition parties are producing tangible results, evidenced by recent endorsements.

“

That is why we have been galvanizing cross-party support for our presidential candidate, and I can confirm to you that our alliance talks with such like-minded political parties are yielding the desired results. We welcome the reaffirmation of support by the Ekiti Chapter of the PDP to our presidential candidate, and I can tell you that you will hear more of such solidarity in the coming days.

Yusuf pointed to the reaffirmation of support for Makinde by PDP members in Ekiti State as a key indicator of their strategy's momentum. These PDP members, he noted, are maintaining their party affiliation and structure while backing Makinde's presidential bid. "That is why we have been galvanizing cross-party support for our presidential candidate, and I can confirm to you that our alliance talks with such like-minded political parties are yielding the desired results," Yusuf said.

The APM believes Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, presents a credible alternative to the incumbent President Bola Tinubu, whom the party accuses of failing the nation. "Giving Governor Makinde’s sterling performance, especially as Governor of Oyo State, Nigerians have accepted him as the credible alternative to President Tinubu, who has failed the nation in every ramification," Yusuf stated, emphasizing the party's determination to win the election.

“

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 asserts that support for Makinde and the APM is growing nationwide, attributing this interest to his governance record in Oyo State, particularly in areas of infrastructure and security. The APM is confident that their coalition strategy will enable them to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Giving Governor Makinde’s sterling performance, especially as Governor of Oyo State, Nigerians have accepted him as the credible alternative to President Tinubu, who has failed the nation in every ramification. So, we are in this election to win, and there is no going back.
