Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde is set to formally declare his presidential ambition for the 2027 election.

The announcement will be made on May 14, according to reliable sources within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This move is expected to shake up the political landscape as the country prepares for the next general elections.

Governor Makinde will also use the occasion to unveil a new political alliance between the PDP and the African People’s Movement (APM).
The partnership is believed to be aimed at building a stronger opposition front against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Many observers see this as a strategic step to consolidate opposition forces ahead of 2027.

Makinde, who is currently serving his second term as governor, has been one of the most visible PDP leaders in recent years. His decision to run for president has been generating discussions within political circles. Supporters believe his performance in Oyo State gives him the experience and credibility needed for the national stage.

The planned declaration and alliance unveiling have already started attracting attention from other PDP members and opposition figures. Political analysts say this development could influence the direction of opposition politics and the formation of alliances in the coming months.

As the date approaches, all eyes are on Governor Seyi Makinde and how his ambition will shape the PDP’s strategy for the 2027 presidential election. Many Nigerians are keenly watching to see if this new alliance will become a formidable force in the race for power.
