The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Seyi Makinde, has declared that the 2027 election will be a straight battle between the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Nigerian people.
Makinde spoke on Saturday at the APM Oyo Governorship Rally in Oyo town, where he charged supporters to get ready for a showdown.
"This election is between APC and Nigerians, and Nigerians will show them what they have never seen before," Makinde said.
He said Nigerians are tired of hunger, hardship and insecurity, and that the ballot box is the only weapon they need to change the story.
According to him, the APC has failed the people, and the time has come for the people to speak with one voice.
Makinde said the APM is ready to lead that fight, adding that the party will not be intimidated by the ruling party.
His remark drew loud cheers from supporters who thronged the rally ground in Oyo town, with many chanting APM slogans.
The rally is part of the APM's mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
