The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo State will, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, formally launch its campaign for the 2027 general elections at Durbar Stadium, Oyo Town, with a pledge to pursue an issue-based, violence-free and development-focused campaign.
This was contained in a statement signed by Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, Co-Director of Media and Publicity of the Oyo State APM Campaign Council, on November 12, 2026.
The party said its campaign would centre on consolidating the gains recorded under Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration while presenting its vision for the continued development of the state.
Director-General of the APM Governorship and Presidential Elections Apex Campaign Council, Dr Nureni Adeniran, disclosed this on Thursday, November 12, 2026, 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 establish a unified approach ahead of the elections.
He assured residents that the party would avoid abusive language, mudslinging and violence, insisting that its campaign would be driven by ideas, verifiable achievements and proposals for 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.
Adeniran added that the candidates had agreed to sustain the unity and cooperation within the party, while the campaign council would coordinate activities across the state.
He said the campaign timetable had been prepared and forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), adding that relevant security agencies would be involved in the process.
The campaign director-general urged APM supporters across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State to attend Saturday’s flag-off rally and subsequent campaign activities.
He described the campaign as an opportunity to consolidate progress, expand opportunities and build a stronger future for residents, noting that the party was seeking a stronger mandate in 2027.
“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 said.
Adeniran expressed confidence that the party’s record and commitment to issue-based engagement would appeal to voters as its campaign moves across the state.
