The governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, is expected to declare his presidential ambition during a rally to be held at Mapo Hall in Ibadan South-East Local Government Area of the state, on Thursday.
The event is expected to serve as the official unveiling of a political alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party and the Allied Peoples Movement in the state.
Aside from declaring his presidential bid, Makinde is also expected to unveil aspirants seeking state and national elective positions on the platform of the APM.
Recall that there was a wave of resignations by political officeholders in the state, especially those seeking positions in the 2027 elections, from the PDP to the APM.
Among those expected to be unveiled on the APM platform are former Commissioner for Finance in the state, Bimbo Adekanmbi, as the party’s governorship candidate; Stanley Olajide, Olufemi Ajadi and Shina Peller as senatorial candidates.
House of Representatives and House of Assembly candidates of the party are also expected to be unveiled.
