Governor Seyi Makinde’s political strength was on full display in Oyo State as a joint rally involving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) attracted a large turnout of supporters ahead of the 2027 political season.


The gathering, held in Ibadan, drew party loyalists, youth groups, market women, and political stakeholders from different parts of the state, signaling growing cooperation between both parties.


Supporters at the event chanted solidarity songs and waved party banners as leaders of the alliance spoke on the need for unity, continuity, and strategic collaboration ahead of future elections.

Political observers say the alliance may reshape the political landscape in the South-West as consultations and alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum in several states.
