The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, Seyi Makinde, has selected former State Security Service Director-General, Lawal Daura, as his running mate for the 2027 elections. Daura, who served as the SSS director-general from 2015 to 2018, was chosen by Makinde to tackle the nation's security concerns. The announcement was made at the APM national convention in Bauchi.
According to a statement from Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Makinde deliberately picked Daura to address the country's security issues. Daura's tenure as SSS director-general ended in 2018 under former President Muhammadu Buhari. The APM presidential candidate also pledged to collaborate with politicians who share his vision for improving the country.
