Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, attends the inauguration/commissioning of Seyi Makinde’s Allied People’s Movement (APM) presidential campaign office in Abuja on Monday. Multiple outlets report that the event is held in the Federal Capital Territory, with coverage noting Obi’s presence and references to the APM’s national campaign infrastructure for the 2027 general elections.
At the event, Obi tells attendees that Makinde is qualified to be President of Nigeria and says he is ready to work with whoever wins the 2027 presidential election. A separate report says APM national leadership frames the launch as the start of a “journey to reset Nigeria,” pointing to Makinde’s record as governor and highlighting comments about other APM figures. The outlets also differ slightly in emphasis: one focuses on Obi’s statement of support, while another highlights public reactions online to his appearance, including speculation by observers about possible engagement between the two opposition platforms. Further details of remarks and broader proceedings are reported as still emerging at the time of publication.
