Osun defeat signals Tinubu’s 2027 loss to Makinde – APM

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has warned that President Bola Tinubu could face defeat in the 2027 presidential election, citing the Osun State governorship election result as a foreshadowing. The opposition party claimed that the strong performance of its candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, in the Osun election indicated a growing trend among Nigerians to reject incumbent political establishments when dissatisfied with their performance.

The APM attributed the Osun victory to the electorate's desire for change and warned that Tinubu and his party would struggle to command a genuine audience during the upcoming campaigns. They also highlighted economic hardship, insecurity, and poor governance as issues that could influence the 2027 election outcome.
