Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed says Nigerians should not underestimate the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and its presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, ahead of the 2027 general elections. He makes the call during the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign office in Abuja, where he frames the party’s effort as aimed at “resetting” Nigeria.
Mohammed presents Makinde as the APM’s flagbearer and argues that the party has been organized to compete seriously. He links APM’s leadership structure to its planning, pointing to statements by party chairman Yusuf Nantale about the party’s agenda. Mohammed adds that the campaign office is provided by the presidential candidate, which he says reflects commitment. He further describes Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, as a strong mobiliser and credits him with delivering urban renewal in Oyo State despite limited resources.
The outlets largely agree on the venue, speaker, and core message, with both reporting the same warning against underrating Makinde and APM’s stated goal for the 2027 election.
