The Allied People’s Movement, APM, on Sunday declared that its ongoing alliance talks with opposition parties are yielding results as it steps up efforts to rally cross-party support for its presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde, ahead of the 2027 general election, expressing confidence that the coalition would unseat President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The party said what began as quiet political conversations is now translating into public endorsements, pointing to the decision by members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State to line up behind Makinde as evidence that its coalition strategy is beginning to take shape.
The position was contained in a statement by the APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf, who cited Friday’s reaffirmation of support for Makinde by PDP members in Ekiti State as proof that the party’s cross-party engagements were gaining momentum.
According to him, those behind the move have retained their identity and structure within the PDP while throwing their weight behind the Oyo State governor’s presidential bid.
