As 2027 draws closer, Nigeria once again stands at the edge of political reconfiguration. The question is not only about who leads next but also about which direction the nation must follow. If truly equity, justice, and competence must define our political choices, then the idea of Governor Seyi Makinde (GSM) stepping up to the presidency should not be dismissed.
From GSM to PSM — this is no mere slogan, but a natural progression. Makinde’s track record in Oyo State stands as a testament to leadership rooted in vision, accountability, and service. His governance has combined technocratic discipline with grassroots accessibility, ensuring that both the elite and ordinary citizens feel the impact of government.
Nigeria today needs fresh energy — not just recycled leadership. We need someone who embodies youthfulness, modern governance, and an understanding of how to blend local realities with global opportunities. Seyi Makinde represents that balance.
A southern presidency in 2027 offers an opportunity to heal old wounds, cement fairness in power rotation, and stabilize the Nigerian union. In that context, Oyo State’s first citizen emerges as a bridge-builder — across North and South, Christian and Muslim, elite and masses.

Of course, President Bola Tinubu will seek re-election, and the ruling APC will mount its strong machinery. Yet democracy thrives on options, on courage, and on the possibility of change. Nigerians deserve to compare records: Tinubu at the centre, Makinde in the state. One speaks of past structures, the other of current performance.

Makinde’s potential candidacy is more than ambition — it is a challenge to the status quo, a call for generational renewal, and a chance to redefine what leadership means in Nigeria.
The journey from GSM to PSM is possible if Nigerians dare to embrace competence over sentiment, results over rhetoric, and the future over nostalgia.
