Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde appoints Dr Nureni Adeniran, the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), as the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential campaign coordinator for the state. Reports from Vanguard, Daily Post Nigeria and Nigerian Eye all say a statement issued in Ibadan by Makinde’s Special Adviser on Media, Dr Suleimon Olanrewaju, announces the appointment.
Nigerian Eye adds further details, stating that Adeniran will also serve as Director-General of the APM governorship campaign council in Oyo State. It also reports that the APM names Bimbo Adekanmbi, a former Commissioner for Finance under the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, as its 2027 governorship candidate in Oyo. Other members mentioned include Saheed Arowosaye as Deputy Coordinator and Demola Ojo, the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, as Deputy Director-General (South).
The same source says Makinde will formally inaugurate the APM governorship campaign council on Friday at the Governor’s Office conference room in Ibadan, describing the move as part of preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
