The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeat in the Osun governorship election is a sign of things to come for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The party said Nigerians are gravitating towards Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who it believes is emerging as a national leader.
The APM’s statement comes amid growing political realignments following the Osun poll, where the APC lost to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The party argued that the Osun result reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration’s policies, particularly the economic hardship facing ordinary Nigerians.
While the APC has dismissed the claims as mere speculation, political analysts say the APM’s comments highlight the fragile nature of the ruling party’s support base.
With the next general elections still two years away, the political landscape remains fluid, and the APM’s prediction may be premature.
However, the Osun outcome has undoubtedly sent ripples through the political establishment, forcing both parties to reassess their strategies ahead of 2027.
