Seyi Makinde Aims for Two-Thirds Vote in 2027 Election

At the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Management Committee in Abuja, Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), declared the party's ambition to secure at least two-thirds of the votes from the 103 million registered voters for the January 16, 2027 presidential election. Represented by his running mate, Lawal Daura, the committee was inaugurated with a commitment to operate within the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026.

Daura emphasized the campaign's focus on "Resetting Nigeria" to address national challenges and expressed confidence in the integrity of the team. APM National Chairman Yusuf Dantalle urged committee members to work collaboratively despite differences to ensure victory for Makinde and Daura in 2027.

Felix Hassan Hyat, the campaign's Director-General, acknowledged the significance of his appointment and highlighted Makinde's transformative leadership in Oyo State, advocating for the South to complete its political rotation in the presidency.
