Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who is also the Allied People’s Movement (APM) presidential candidate for Nigeria’s 2027 general election, will inaugurate the party’s campaign councils on Friday. Multiple reports say the event will mark the start of intensified preparations for the 2027 elections.
Vanguard reports that the inauguration will cover both the Oyo State Presidential and Governorship Campaign Councils. The reports describe the councils as part of the APM’s organisational arrangements ahead of the polls, with attention on both the presidential campaign and the governorship contest in Oyo State.
The Punch similarly reports that Makinde will unveil the APM presidential campaign council on Friday, indicating the inauguration is tied to the electioneering timetable. While details of the venue and broader scope are not fully consistent across the two sources, both agree on the key point that Makinde will publicly inaugurate APM campaign structures in Oyo State on Friday as preparations for the 2027 elections accelerate.
