The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo State will on Saturday officially kick off its campaign for the 2027 general elections at Durbar Stadium, Oyo Town, promising an issue-based, violence-free and development-driven campaign.
The party in a statement signed by Sulaimon Olanrewaju, Co-Director, Media and Publicity, Oyo State APM Campaign Council said its campaign would focus on consolidating the achievements of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration while presenting its vision for the continued development of the state.
The Director-General of the APM Governorship and Presidential Elections Apex Campaign Council, Dr Nureni Adeniran, disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan after a meeting between the campaign council and candidates contesting various elective positions on the party’s platform.
Adeniran said the meeting was convened to review campaign strategies, strengthen coordination among candidates and ensure a unified approach ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He maintained that the party would avoid abusive language, mudslinging and violence, insisting that its campaign would be driven by ideas, verifiable achievements and good governance.
“Our campaign will be entirely issue-based and fact-based. We are not going to engage in abusive language, mudslinging or any form of violence.
“We want the people of Oyo State to assess us based on our manifesto, the achievements of the present administration and the political antecedents of our leader, Governor Seyi Makinde,” he said.
The campaign council boss added that all APM candidates had agreed to sustain the existing unity and cooperation within the party, with the council providing effective coordination across the state.
According to him, the party’s campaign timetable had been prepared and forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while relevant security agencies would also be carried along to ensure peaceful rallies.
He urged APM supporters across the 33 local government areas of the state to turn out for Saturday’s flag-off in Oyo Town and subsequent campaign activities.
Adeniran further said the party’s campaign would go beyond winning elections, stressing that it was aimed at consolidating existing progress, expanding opportunities and building a stronger future for the state.
“This campaign is not merely about winning elections; it is about consolidating progress, expanding opportunities and building a stronger future for every part of Oyo State.
“We appreciate the trust the people placed in us in 2019 and 2023, and we look forward to presenting our vision and achievements to them as we seek an even stronger mandate in 2027,” he added.
He expressed confidence that the party’s performance record and commitment to issue-based political engagement would appeal to voters as the campaign progresses across the state.
