2027: APM woos Ogun aspirants with automatic tickets

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogun State is making a bold move to reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. By offering automatic tickets to aspirants for both state and National Assembly seats, the party aims to attract seasoned politicians and loyal party members, signaling a strategic effort to consolidate its base and challenge the established order. This initiative, spearheaded by State Chairman Abayomi Sanyaolu, is framed as a patriotic call to action for the "true sons and daughters of the state" to unite under the APM banner.

“

In the next few days of the window of political alignment and realignments, we are ready to welcome everyone with good intention to APM — the party ordained by God to rescue Ogun State.

Sanyaolu's rhetoric paints a stark picture of Ogun State's current political condition, describing it as being "sunk deeply into the hands of political invaders." This strong language reflects a deep-seated concern among some political factions about the quality of leadership and the direction of governance. The APM positions itself as the divinely ordained platform to "rescue" the state from what it terms "political destruction and avoidable jeopardy." This framing taps into a common sentiment in Nigerian politics where parties often present themselves as saviors.

“

APM as a political platform belongs to all; therefore, our doors are open to everyone to come in and participate in the process.

The party's open invitation extends to former and current members of the National and State Assemblies, suggesting a desire to leverage existing political experience and networks. By welcoming figures like Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and members of the Peoples Democratic Party, the APM signals an ambition to build a broad coalition. The party's leadership expresses confidence that this strategy will "change the dynamics of the 2027 general elections in favour of the APM in the state," indicating a belief in its own potential to disrupt the status quo and achieve a landslide victory.

“

Consequently, the APM Ogun State chapter is using this opportunity to woo serving and former members of the National Assembly with automatic tickets, where applicable, for the 2027 general elections.
