The Allied People’s Movement (APM) asserts that the Tinubu Presidency’s resort to diatribes and disparagement against our Presidential candidate in the 2027 Presidential election, Governor Seyi Makinde, only confirms that it is nervous and in mortal fear of Governor Makinde’s soaring popularity ahead of the election.
It is rather pathetic that the Tinubu Presidency has fallen so low into ignominy that it now relies on internationally discredited and politically inconsistent characters like Daniel Bwala to speak for it on national TV; a situation that further confirms that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu no longer command the support of credible Nigerians.
Since Daniel Bwala’s March 6, 2026 scandalous interview with Al Jazeera, Nigerians can always see through the antics of President Tinubu’s handlers. Daniel Bwala would soon eat his own words against Governor Makinde.
This was contained in statement released on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abubakar Yusuf.
In any event, the 2027 Presidential race would be between Governor Seyi Makinde, standing shoulder to shoulder with millions of Nigerians who are determined for a new beginning, and a failed President Tinubu who only has the feeble support of a handful of sycophantic, corrupt, arrogant and morally depraved minions on his payroll.
The APM is therefore not surprised that the Tinubu Presidency is deflated and intimidated because it has no tangible scorecard of achievements to present to the public given its abysmal failures for which Nigerians across board has reached a consensus to replace President Tinubu with Governor Makinde at the 2027 election given Makinde’s outstanding performance as Governor of Oyo State.
Of course, President Tinubu should be jittery because Governor Makinde is coming into the contest with an intimidating record of performance including transforming Oyo State to a foremost economically viable state, surpassing the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, according to data from Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), a feat Nigerians want him to replicate at the national level
The Tinubu Presidency is edgy because Nigerians are determined and eager to elect Governor Seyi Makinde as the next President of the country so that they can enjoy the benefits of his blueprint to revamp the economy, rejig our security architecture, rebuild collapse infrastructure, revitalize the productive sectors, provide jobs, end corruption and bring a new lease of life to the people.
Of course, why won’t the Tinubu Presidency be jittery when Governor Makinde is coming with the full support of over 50 million young Nigerians whose destinies are being caged by the Tinubu administration and who are now rallying with our Presidential candidate as the face of the new Nigeria they eagerly seek and for which they are ready to vote in 2027 and defend their votes to the very end.
To suggest that a Presidential candidate with such army of support is “inconsequential” says more about the anxiety within the corridors of power than it does about the candidate. In fact, before noon on election day, the Presidency will know who actually is “inconsequential” in this race.
Regardless, the APM will not be drawn into a war of insults. Our focus remains on issues. We know that when spokespersons of a government resort to name-calling rather than addressing issues, then they have nothing substantial to offer. We therefore counsel those speaking for the Presidency to engage Nigerians with issues or advice their principal to withdraw from the race if he has nothing to offer.
