The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has declared that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has what it takes to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election if he decides to join the race.
The party made the bold claim amid growing political discussions over possible presidential contenders ahead of the next general election, insisting that Makinde possesses the leadership qualities and national appeal needed to challenge the incumbent president.
According to APM, the Oyo State governor has distinguished himself through his style of governance and has built a strong political profile that could resonate with voters across different regions of the country.
The party maintained that Makinde’s performance in Oyo State has positioned him as one of Nigeria’s most credible political leaders, arguing that his developmental projects and governance record would give him an advantage in a national contest.
APM also expressed confidence that Nigerians are increasingly looking for leaders capable of addressing the country’s economic, security and governance challenges, adding that Makinde fits that expectation.
The party stated that should the governor eventually emerge as a presidential candidate, President Tinubu would face a formidable opponent capable of reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2027 election.
Although Makinde has not officially declared interest in the presidency, his name has continued to feature prominently in political conversations as parties and stakeholders begin strategic consultations ahead of the polls.
Political observers believe the race for the 2027 presidency is gradually taking shape, with several influential politicians already being mentioned as possible contenders despite the election still being years away.
The latest endorsement by the APM is expected to fuel further debate over the strength of the opposition and the possible alliances that could emerge before Nigerians head to the polls.
As political activities gather momentum, analysts say declarations and endorsements such as this are likely to become more frequent as parties position themselves for what promises to be another highly competitive presidential election.
