NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi attended the inauguration of Seyi Makinde’s APM campaign headquarters in Abuja as opposition politicians intensify preparations for 2027.
Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, attended the inauguration of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) campaign office for Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja on Monday.
The event was held at the Makinde/Daura 2027 presidential campaign headquarters and brought together political figures and supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi At Makinde Campaign Event
Obi’s attendance placed two prominent opposition figures in the same political space despite their competing presidential platforms.
Reports from the event said Obi also expressed support for Makinde’s presidential credentials, describing the Oyo governor as qualified to seek the presidency.
The appearance comes against the backdrop of wider efforts among opposition politicians to find common ground ahead of 2027.
Opposition Realignment
Opposition parties have spent months exploring possible alliances as they seek to present a stronger challenge to President Bola Tinubu.
Earlier consultations involving Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Makinde and other opposition figures have focused on the possibility of building a united opposition structure.
However, the opposition remains divided among several political parties and presidential ambitions.
Why The Event Matters
Obi’s presence at Makinde’s campaign office inauguration is significant because both men are positioning themselves within the wider opposition movement ahead of the 2027 election.
Whether such appearances eventually translate into a formal electoral alliance remains to be seen.
