In addition to presenting candidates, party leaders utilized the event to emphasize APM’s rising national profile as the 2027 elections approach. The party has nominated Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as its presidential candidate for the upcoming presidential race, sparking noteworthy political conversations nationwide.
Badagry Today also noted that insiders report that Makinde’s bid for the presidency is gaining traction among political figures across the Southwest, notably among former members of the Peoples Democratic Party and other opposition players aligning with APM’s developing political network in the region.
The governor is actively engaging in consultations and political activities aimed at creating a strong coalition in the Southwest, which is expected to bolster the party’s influence ahead of the general elections. Discussions with various political stakeholders from across the region regarding potential collaboration are reportedly underway as the party seeks to expand its membership.
With the selection of Olumayowa and Akinpelu as candidates in Ojo, alongside the party’s regional outreach efforts and Governor Makinde’s presidential candidacy, the APM is positioning itself as a significant contender in the political landscape leading up to the 2027 elections.
