Serah Ibrahim Backs Seyi Makinde for 2027 Presidency

Serah Ibrahim, a grassroots mobiliser associated with the Obidient Movement, endorsed Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential bid for the 2027 general election. Her endorsement occurred at the Allied Peoples Movement's presidential manifesto unveiling in Abuja on July 23, 2026, where she introduced Makinde as the "most outstanding Nigerian on the ballot." Ibrahim's involvement in the event garnered attention due to her significant role in mobilising support during the 2023 presidential election.

She revealed on her X account that she was part of the team that developed Makinde's presidential policy document, branded the Reset Agenda, which focuses on four pillars: economy, security, and governance. Although she has not formally announced a break from the Obidient Movement, the nature of her political realignment remains uncertain.

Peter Obi, the 2027 NDC presidential candidate, addressed speculation regarding any potential falling-out with Ibrahim in a video message, aiming to dispel suggestions of a dispute.
