Egalitarian Voice Media reports that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has made a bold statement, declaring “Come 2027, it’s Nigerians versus APC” at the commissioning of the newly built Southwest Secretariat of the Party.
This statement suggests that Makinde sees the 2027 elections as a pivotal moment for Nigeria, pitting the nation’s interests against those of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Makinde, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been vocal about his commitment to prioritizing Nigeria’s needs over party loyalty. His statement may be seen as a call to action, urging Nigerians to put the country’s interests first. However, without more context, it’s difficult to say exactly what he hopes to achieve with this declaration.
It’s worth noting that the APC has a complex history, formed in 2013 from a merger of three largest opposition parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). This merger aimed to challenge the dominance of the PDP, which had been in power since 1999.

Makinde’s statement could indicate a growing divide between the APC’s interests and the nation’s well-being. As one of Nigeria’s two major contemporary political parties, the APC has significant influence over the country’s politics.
