Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, Seyi Makinde, will flag off his 2027 electioneering campaign in Bauchi State on November 7.
The APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, confirmed this on Sunday that, after the Bauchi flag-off, Makinde would take his message to states and communities across the country.
This follows Makinde’s disclosure at the APM South-East town hall meeting on Thursday that the party would unveil its manifesto in Abuja on November 4.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed January 16, 2027, for the presidential election.
The publicity secretary said the campaign organisation had commenced grassroots mobilisation to garner support for the APM presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 election.
Yusuf stated, “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.
“The party intends to commence its campaign tour in Bauchi State soon. 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.
“We have already commenced a unit-to-unit, house-to-house, roof-to-roof and ward-to-ward campaign to persuade Nigerians to move away from what we consider the lame-duck administration of President Tinubu and embrace the highly spirited candidacy of Seyi Makinde of the APM. We are determined to actualise this objective.”
