Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Oyo Central Senatorial District candidate, has commended Governor Seyi Makinde for organizing a successful rally in Ibadan. The event, known as the Boye Nation/JAF Movement Mega Concert, drew a large crowd and demonstrated the growing strength of the APM across Oyo State. Ajadi made these remarks while speaking with journalists at the Open Tennis Court of the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, Ibadan.
The rally was attended by Governor Seyi Makinde, other APM senatorial candidates, and thousands of supporters. Ajadi described the event as a significant demonstration of support for the APM ahead of the 2027 general elections. He noted that the large turnout and participation of political stakeholders showed the party's growing grassroots structure. The event provided an opportunity for APM leaders and supporters to interact with the people and further strengthen the party's base.
During the event, thousands of defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) were formally received into the APM. The defectors, led by Ajiboye Sangogade, a Personal Assistant to former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, were drawn from various local government areas across Oyo State. This development is seen as a boost to the APM's chances in the 2027 elections.
Governor Seyi Makinde expressed confidence in the APM's prospects in the 2027 general elections, saying the party would secure victory across different levels of the election. He criticized the APC governorship candidate, Sharafadeen Alli, for his attacks on the state administration and advised him to focus on persuading voters to support his party.
Makinde reaffirmed his support for the APM governorship candidate, Bimbo Adekanmbi, and urged opposition politicians to focus on presenting their programmes to the electorate. He stated that the political developments leading to the 2027 election indicated increasing support for the APM.
The rally was a show of strength for the APM, with Governor Makinde and other party leaders canvassing for votes. The event demonstrated the party's ability to mobilize supporters and its growing popularity across the state. Ajadi and other party leaders are optimistic about the party's chances in the 2027 elections.
The APM's growing momentum ahead of the 2027 elections is evident in the large turnout at the rally and the defection of thousands of APC members to the party. The party's leaders are confident that their victory in 2027 is only a matter of time.
