NNPP's Makinde Confirms Talks with APC for 2027 Elections
Hon Anthony Sunday Makinde, the Oyo state Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), revealed that the party is engaged in discussions with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to establish a mutual understanding for the upcoming 2027 general elections. This announcement followed a meeting of NNPP leaders and members from all 33 local government areas in Oyo state, held in Ibadan on a Tuesday.
Makinde clarified that the NNPP does not have a governorship or presidential candidate at this time. He mentioned that the party is open to negotiations with candidates from other political parties, highlighting that Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the party's principal, is currently the vice presidential candidate of the NDC.
He expressed optimism that discussions with the Oyo APC, facilitated by Engineer Dotun Sanusi, would be resolved before October 17, 2026. Makinde stressed that any agreement would focus on the development of Oyo state and Nigeria rather than financial incentives.
