Serah Ibrahim Backs Seyi Makinde's Presidential Bid

Serah Ibrahim, a prominent grassroots mobiliser associated with the Obidient Movement, endorsed Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential ambition ahead of the 2027 general election. Ibrahim made her endorsement public on Wednesday during the unveiling of the Allied Peoples Movement’s presidential manifesto in Abuja, where she introduced Makinde as the “most outstanding Nigerian on the ballot.” Her participation surprised observers due to her previous support for former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Ibrahim revealed on her X account that she was involved in developing Makinde’s policy manifesto, known as the Reset Agenda, and encouraged Nigerians to review its four pillars focusing on the economy, security, education, and governance. Although her appearance is seen as an endorsement of Makinde, she has not formally announced her departure from the Obidient Movement.

Peter Obi addressed speculation regarding their relationship, referring to Ibrahim as his daughter and affirming his support for her.
