Dutse, the Jigawa State capital and other major towns have been flooded with presidential ambition posters of Oyo State Governor, Chief Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde.
Nigerian Times Online on Thursday observed that the posters, bearing the logo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), have taken over roundabouts, junctions, and streets in Dutse, promoting Makinde’s presidential aspirations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The posters feature slogans such as “To move Nigeria Forward 2027 His Excellency Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for President Federal Republic of Nigeria” and “2027: To move Nigeria forward Seyi Makinde is the answer.”
Prominent locations, including Unity Pentagon, Police Headquarters’ roads, and major areas like Obasanjo Road and Muhammad Buhari Street, have been adorned with Makinde’s posters.
Alhaji Lawal Abdullahi, National Secretary of the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group Makinde 2027 (NYAG Makinde 2027), stated that Makinde has thrown his hat into the ring and called on patriotic Nigerians to rally behind him.
Abdullahi revealed that the group has consulted with prominent politicians and eminent personalities, securing their support for Makinde’s presidential bid.
Abdullahi also announced plans to flood Northern Nigeria with Makinde’s campaign materials, starting with states like Jigawa, Bauchi, Kano, and Katsina.
“The Seyi Makinde 2027 project is a massive movement that will catch and spread like wildfire.
“We are optimistic and confidence in the group’s ability to achieve its objective of making Makinde the President of Nigeria in 2027,” he added.
