Alli Campaign Declares Makinde's Presidential Bid Doomed

The Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation has declared Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential ambition under the Allied People’s Movement as “dead on arrival.” This assertion follows a commendation of President Bola Tinubu by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who acknowledged the positive impacts of Tinubu’s economic reforms during a visit to inaugurate a radiodiagnostic center at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital. The Alli campaign, represented by Director of Media and Publicity Bisi Oladele, argued that Mohammed’s praise raises questions about the unity and viability of the coalition supporting Makinde.

They stated that if a key supporter of Makinde admits to Tinubu’s successes, it undermines Makinde’s call for change. The campaign further suggested that Makinde’s presidential bid appears to be more of a political bargaining tool for the 2027 elections rather than a serious pursuit for the presidency, indicating that his campaign is faltering before it truly begins.
