Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has declared his intention to run for the office of President of Nigeria under the joint Peoples Democratic Party–APM Grand Alliance ahead of the 2027 general election. The declaration was made during the Unity Mega Rally held in Ibadan, Oyo State, an event that also marked the formal unveiling and birth of the new political alliance.

The rally attracted party supporters, political stakeholders, and alliance members who gathered to witness the major political announcement as the build-up to the 2027 elections continues to gather momentum.
