Nigeria’s Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential campaign council says its candidate, Seyi Makinde, can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election across 12 states. The campaign argues that Makinde’s “RESET NIGERIA” message is gaining traction and that this will reduce Tinubu’s prospects of winning re-election.
Across outlets, APM officials present the claim as part of an election strategy, including references to planned political activity and the identification of specific battleground states. One report frames the announcement as a confidence statement from the campaign council, while another details the “full list” of the 12 states. A third outlet attributes the list to an additional APM-linked entity (MDPCO), though it presents the same overall assertion that Makinde is projected to win those states over Tinubu.
The reports focus on campaign messaging and state-by-state targeting, without providing independent electoral or polling verification.
