Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has emerged as the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for the upcoming general election, following a unanimous endorsement by the party’s leadership.

With his emergence, Makinde is set to challenge incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who also hails from the South-West region, as well as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Speaking at the event, the National Chairman of the APM, Alhaji Yusuf Dantali, praised the selection process, describing it as one of the most peaceful, transparent, and orderly exercises in Nigeria’s political history. Following the official endorsement, Dantali presented Makinde with the party’s Certificate of Return and the APM flag, officially confirming him as the party’s standard-bearer.

Makinde’s selection as the consensus candidate received unanimous backing from all 36 state chairmen of the party.Presidential

I don't even understand how some of these guys even think.

What point is he trying to make by contesting an election he can't even win in his home state?

I think he wants to ensure his house of rep and senatorial candidates win their election by being on the ballot too. In 2023, they lost some ground because he believed President Tinubu being on the ballot for the federal election led to APC winning the federal senate/rep election too coz people just thumbprint APC top to bottom.

And Tinubu will get the remaining 98% of Oyo's votes because he is supposedly the best Nigerian president ever, despite the widespread hardship, rising insecurity, loss of lives, deaths and the kidnapping and killing of schoolchildren and teachers under his watch.

Oga rest nah.

If you think you can get Yorubas to drop their tribalism while you flaunt yours, you have a big surprise coming

Even your Obi will not smell 0.5% in Kano.

The biggest disgrace will be NDC scoring less than 5,000 votes in Kano

You have jumped to Kano

From Oyo to Kano , jumping like an antelope

Who will get the majority of votes in Kano?

Definitely not Giringori.

Kwankwassai movement is under the governor and the governor is aligned to Tinubu and the APC.

So go figure..

so Kano and Oyo will leave their son on the ballot and vote the drug lord that have nothing to offer

Kano people understand that Kwankwasso is being coerced by powerful international Zionists like Larry Ellison who sponsored Obi's 2023 campaign to run along Obi so as to get the Muslim north vote

Why you think the US Congress funded by AIPAC has declared Kwankwasso as one of the leading politicians fueling so-called Christian genocide.


Kwankwaso is being blackmailed to run alongside your Giringori

The Kwankwasiyya movement suddenly belongs to Governor Abba Gida and not Kwankwaso, its founder?

Interesting.

At this point, you're arguing yourself into circles.

You've completely lost focus and your points are becoming incoherent

Do you know politics at all?

How will Makinde contesting affect Atiku?

Did he delivered Oyo to Atiku in 2023 ? Someone that collide with wike and work for tinubu now against tinubu and you're mentioning Atiku as the loser.

Atiku is the only presidential candidate from North. While South have many candidates .

Is Atiku banking on SW votes before?

If Atiku can clear NW and NE with upto 60% and above, don't you think he have more advantage?

Those that got the winning vote in Oyo Anambra n Abia previously, did they win it because of all that you listed or you are displaying displaying how foolishly you reason.

So your argument is that because people voted a certain way in previous elections, they're no longer allowed to complain about hardship, insecurity, kidnappings, and loss of lives today? Elections are not lifetime immunity from criticism. The real question is: are Nigerians better off now than they were before? If your answer is yes, make that case. If not, then attacking people's intelligence won't change the reality they're living through.

He would be lucky to get 500 votes.

Very useless governor. There is insecurity in his domain yet he is fooling around.
