  "account": "Serah Ibrahim, a prominent grassroots mobiliser linked to the Obidient Movement, has endorsed Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential bid for the 2027 general election. This endorsement came during the unveiling of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential manifesto in Abuja on Wednesday. Ibrahim, who has been closely associated with former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, introduced Makinde as the \"most outstanding Nigerian on the ballot\" at the event. She revealed on her X account that she contributed to the development of Makinde's policy manifesto, dubbed the Reset Agenda.
