The governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, and APM presidential candidate convened a strategic meeting with the party's South-West governorship candidates, according to Prince Laja Adeoye, the APM governorship candidate for Lagos State. The purpose of the meeting, as reported by Adeoye in a statement to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), was to bolster the party's structures and coordinate grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Adeoye disclosed that the meeting was attended by Bimbo Adekanmbi, the APM governorship candidate for Oyo State, Prince Laja Adeoye representing Lagos, and TPL Rotimi Babajide, the APM governorship candidate from Ogun State. He also confirmed that the APM's governorship candidate from Osun State participated in the strategic discussion.

The primary focus of the meeting was to intensify preparations and consolidate the APM's presence in the South-West geopolitical zone, with particular emphasis on Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, and Ondo states as key states for electoral strength. The APM aims to transform these states into "reliable strongholds" for the party's campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.

Additionally, Adeoye mentioned plans to expand the party's influence beyond the South-West as part of its nationwide mobilization strategy.
