Posters featuring the image of Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, have appeared in prominent areas of Jigawa State just two years before Nigeria’s next general elections, raising questions about whether he might be interested in running for president in 2027.

In key locations throughout the state capital of Dutse, the posters prominently featured the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) emblem.

Slogans such as “To Move Nigeria Forward 2027: His Excellency Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for President” and “2027: Seyi Makinde Is the Answer” featured prominently.

The Unity Pentagon, Police Headquarters Roundabout, Mai Kwarin Roundabout, Obasanjo Road, Muhammadu Buhari Street, Abdulsalami Abubakar Street, and Abdullahi Mai Kano Road are a few of the busy locations where the posters were seen.

The action was part of a purposeful mobilization drive, according to Alhaji Lawal Abdullahi, National Secretary of the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group for Makinde 2027 (NYAG Makinde 2027), who spoke to reporters in Dutse.

“We have met as different groups and agreed to support Seyi Makinde for President in 2027. We are reaching out to various stakeholders to achieve this goal,” he said.

Abdullahi stated that initiatives are underway to expand the campaign’s reach and that relationships have already been formed with political leaders around the country.

“We have concluded arrangements for wider visibility. By next week, we plan to extend the distribution of posters and other campaign materials to several northern states, including Kano, Bauchi, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and Gombe,” he added.

In addition, he made a suggestion that the campaign will progressively spread to southern Nigeria as part of a larger plan to gather support before the 2027 elections.
