The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo State is set to kick-start its campaign for the 2027 general elections on Saturday, November 14, at the Durbar Stadium, Oyo Town, with a pledge to sustain the achievements of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration.
The Director-General of the APM Governorship and Presidential Elections Apex Campaign Council, Dr Nureni Adeniran, disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan after a meeting between the campaign council and candidates contesting various elective positions on the party’s platform.
In a statement by the Co-Director, Media and Publicity, Oyo State APM Campaign Council, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the party said its campaign would focus on consolidating the gains recorded under Makinde while unveiling its vision for the continued growth and development of the state.
Adeniran stated that the meeting was convened to review campaign strategies, strengthen cooperation among candidates and ensure a coordinated approach ahead of the 2027 elections.
He assured residents that the party would run an issue-based and violence-free campaign, insisting that its candidates would avoid abusive language, mudslinging and personal attacks.
According to him, the APM intends to seek the people’s support based on its manifesto, the achievements of the present administration and the political antecedents of its leader, Governor Makinde.
He maintained that elections should be determined by ideas, verifiable achievements and the capacity to deliver good governance rather than unnecessary political distractions.
The campaign council boss also disclosed that all APM candidates had agreed to maintain unity and cooperation, with the council providing effective coordination across the state’s 33 local government areas.
Adeniran added that the party’s campaign timetable had been prepared and submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while relevant security agencies would be involved to ensure peaceful activities.
He urged party supporters across the state to turn out in large numbers for Saturday’s campaign flag-off in Oyo Town and subsequent rallies.
Describing the 2027 contest as an opportunity to consolidate progress and expand development opportunities, Adeniran said the party was seeking a stronger mandate to build a better future for residents.
He expressed confidence that the Makinde administration’s record and the party’s commitment to issue-based engagement would attract voters as the campaign gathers momentum.
