The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has expressed confidence that its 2027 presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, will defeat President Bola Tinubu in the next general election.

The party made the claim in a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, while reacting to recent remarks by Presidential spokesman Daniel Bwala, who reportedly described Makinde as inconsequential.

According to the APM, the Presidency’s comments reflected growing concern over Makinde’s rising political profile ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Yusuf said the 2027 election would ultimately determine who was truly inconsequential in the race.

“Rather than defend its record in office, the Presidency has chosen to attack personalities. The decision to deploy presidential aides to criticise Governor Makinde only shows a lack of confidence in its own achievements,” the party said.

Referring to Bwala’s interview with Al Jazeera earlier this year, the party said Nigerians were familiar with what it described as the communication style of the current administration.

“Daniel Bwala would soon eat his own words against Governor Makinde,” the statement added.

The party maintained that the 2027 presidential election would be a direct contest between Makinde and Tinubu, expressing confidence that the Oyo State governor would emerge victorious.

President Tinubu should be jittery because Governor Makinde is coming into the contest with an intimidating record of performance, including transforming Oyo State into one of the country’s leading economies, a feat Nigerians want replicated at the national level,” Yusuf said.

He can't defeat Tinubu. He is not running to win the presidency. He will only reduce tinubu's vote in the SW particularly in Oyo and Osun

Tinubu already knows this isn't 2023 and he has already lost Oyo and will lose osun again and Lagos will be another battleground

And that is why the attacks on Seyi is unimaginable.

If Tinubu cannot win his region hands down where else will he win?

P.S. Seyi and wike working for him in 2023 was what gave him the win. If he had lost Rivers and Oyo states,the election would have gone into runoff between Atiku and Obi and tinubu won't be in the picture and that is what is causing the current jittery

LibertyRep:
So you really think Makinde will win in Oyo, no in Ibadan?
I am not sure he himself will believe this.

happney65:
He will win the entire Oyo state and his candidates in the Senate and house of representatives too will. And bimbo too will win the Govorship

He is the most popular outgoing Govornor in the history of Oyo since 1999.

Before this time in 2018, Ajimobi had already lost all goodwill. Man could not even campaign with his then candidate Adelabu in the 2019 election

Go write it down. Go write it somewhere

Akpakomiza2:
I have written it down. Even if Makinde manages to win Oyo, it will be narrowly and his Guber candidate won't win. He has lost all goodwill. All those who supported him to win are now against him and will bury him. Who knows Adekanbi? Even Makinde is afraid of Alli.

happney65:
Alli ko,sinbi ni. His defeat will be worst than APC's 2019 and 2023.

Senator Billboard. Ko da ni Ile,ko da ni oko

Balablu will win every states in the SW and Lagos in particular.

Stop giving yourself false hope

BATified2023:
just keep analysing your politics online

Even seyi makinde nominated candidate won't smell anything in oyo state, if only u know how he demolished houses for his abandoned circular road n how he demolished houses of political opponents then u will know he's d most unpopular person in oyo right now

His boys even went to plant drug in opposition house, even his candidate is scared to paste poster or campaign.

Just dey online dey talk your rubbish


U are just another ignorant soul with access to internet, hope u know osun election will happen this year n Adeleke will lose surely?

He worked for atiku last time simply because Tinubu was not president then, hope u don count d number of time Adeleke n davido don go beg Tinubu?

Even when Tinubu gave Adeleke a waiver, osun apc chairman said it loud n clear that they will prefer to go against tinubu n Adeleke will also lose....even in the accord that Adeleke is right now, gbenga hashim the presidential candidate has already said he's not working with Adeleke....many of u ignorant folks will just b online analysing rubbish n saying what u know nothing about

As for Lagos state,


Just b online n b analysing your ignorance
