The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Seyi Makinde, is set to officially flag off his 2027 electioneering campaign in Bauchi State on November 7.
The APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, confirmed the development to The PUNCH on Sunday, noting that after the Bauchi flag-off, Makinde will take his message to states and communities across the country.
This follows Makinde’s recent disclosure at the APM South-East town hall meeting on Thursday that the party would officially unveil its manifesto in Abuja on November 4. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has already fixed January 16, 2027, for the presidential election.
Yusuf stated that the campaign organisation has commenced grassroots mobilisation to garner support for the APM presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 polls.
“We are confident that the town hall meetings have demonstrated the general acceptance of the APM and its presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, as a credible replacement for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC, particularly on issues of competence, mental stability and state of mind,” Yusuf said.
He added that the party intends to commence its campaign tour in Bauchi State soon. According to him, the APM has also unveiled a strategy at its town hall meetings to continue sensitising its members and Nigerians, irrespective of their political affiliations, on the need to embrace Engr. Seyi Makinde and replicate the good works he has done in Oyo State at the federal level.
