Makinde has no plan to become president in 2027 — Oyo Rep

Oyo State Governor and APM candidate Seyi Makinde does not plan to run for Nigeria's presidency in 2027, according to Akin Alabi, a member of the House of Representatives representing Oyo State. Alabi made this claim during a radio interview, stating that Makinde's presidential campaign is primarily aimed at ensuring his preferred candidate, Bimbo Adekanmbi, gets visibility in the Oyo State governorship election.

Alabi believes that without Makinde's presence as a presidential candidate, Adekanmbi would struggle to win the governorship election, as he would lack the governor's political influence.
