2027: Why Nigerians should replace Tinubu with Makinde - APM Campaign DG
Felix Hyat, a campaign director for the APM, has urged Nigerians to reject President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election in favor of Seyi Makinde. He argues that the North should support a southern candidate to ensure regional equity and provide opportunities for younger leaders.
Why it matters
The statement reflects early political maneuvering and regional power dynamics ahead of the 2027 Nigerian presidential election.
The Director-General of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation, Felix Hyat, has warned Nigerians, particularly young people in the North, against voting for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, describing the president as a “wrong product from the South-west” that should be replaced with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) candidate, Seyi Makinde, also from the region.
Mr Hyat said this on Tuesday in Abuja at the inauguration of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation, where he also criticised northern youths for repeatedly supporting politicians seeking the presidency while younger aspirants remain sidelined.
He said although every Nigerian had the constitutional right to contest for political office, young people in the North should question whether repeatedly supporting older politicians seeking multiple presidential bids serves their interests.
