Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday formally joined the presidential race for 2027 under an alliance involving the Peoples Democratic Party and the Allied Peoples’ Movement. In his declaration speech delivered at a rally held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, and witnessed by a mammoth crowd, Makinde showed, “Today, I, Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, FNSE, announce my candidacy for the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the PDP/APM alliance. ”.
“When I say people are fraudulent, they think I am joking. And that is the 419 we are talking about. “There is no alliance between PDP and APM or any other political party, as the case may be. INEC also knows that there is nothing called a PDP-APM alliance,”.
He further maintained that ongoing internal processes within the PDP, including the screening of presidential aspirants, showed the party had not entered into any coalition agreement.
From him, the party’s eventual nomination process would expose the truth to doubters. The minister specifically linked the controversy to Makinde’s alleged presidential ambition, arguing that it was being pursued through what he called a collapsing political strategy. “What you have is Seyi Makinde joining APM to be able to actualise his presidential ambition, which is already dead on arrival,” he showed.
