2027 Presidency: Youth group to purchase nomination form for Seyi Makinde
With the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, zoning its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, a coalition under the banner of Nigeria Youths Awareness Group, Makinde 2027 has announced plans to purchase the declaration of intent and nomination forms for Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The group made the disclosure in Bauchi while addressing journalists on the 2027 PDP presidential race.
Speaking on behalf of the coalition, Lawal Abdullahi described Makinde as the most credible option for the PDP, noting that he is the only southern politician capable of giving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a strong contest.
According to him, “Seyi Makinde is from the South-West, same as President Tinubu. He will enjoy wide support from the region and equally attract overwhelming backing from the North, which is dissatisfied with the current APC-led administration.”
Abdullahi revealed that the group had begun mobilisation for Makinde’s candidacy months ago, long before the PDP zoning decision. He recalled how they had circulated posters across the 19 northern states and the FCT, urging Makinde to declare for the presidency.
“With the zoning now in his favour, our task has become much easier,” he said. “We will intensify efforts to mobilize like-minded Nigerians to raise the funds for the two forms without placing any burden on anyone.”
He further urged members of the movement nationwide to contribute personally to the cause, stressing that their mission is to rescue Nigeria.
“Governor Seyi Makinde has transformed Oyo State into a model of good governance. He possesses the capacity and competence to lead Nigeria effectively. That is why we are rooting for him,” Abdullahi declared.
