Ahead of the 2027 general election, Ekiti State stakeholders from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) have begun grassroots mobilization to support Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential aspirations. The advocacy and campaign awareness programme, organized by PDP chieftain Mrs. Lanre Fajuyi, aimed to strengthen the PDP-APM alliance and promote a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Makinde has declared his intent to contest the 2027 presidential election on the APM platform, positioning the PDP-APM alliance as a potential opposition coalition. Fajuyi emphasized the need for Nigerians to seek leadership that genuinely serves their interests, economic challenges, and promotes democratic governance. The South-West PDP/APM spokesperson, Chief Sanya Atofarati, highlighted the alliance's role in preserving multi-party democracy and providing a viable opposition platform.
Atofarati criticized the APC administration for worsening economic hardship and insecurity, and he rejected the notion that support for Makinde would be regional politics. Ekiti State APM Vice-Chairman, Chief Remilekun Solola, stressed the significance of the PDP-APM alliance as a strategic platform for a credible opposition in the upcoming elections.
