Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has expressed his view that the 2027 general elections will not merely be a contest between political parties but a pivotal struggle between Nigerians and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Makinde shared this perspective on Saturday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, during the official commissioning of the South-West zonal secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking at the event, Makinde reflected on the significance of the new PDP South-West secretariat, named “Soji Adagunodo House” in honor of Hon. Soji Adagunodo.

According to Makinde, the dedication of this building serves as a tribute to Adagunodo’s substantial contributions to politics in the South-West region. “Today, we inaugurated the Soji Adagunodo House, which will function as the South-West Secretariat of our great party, the PDP,” Makinde said, underscoring Adagunodo’s legacy.

In his address, Makinde emphasized the stakes of the upcoming 2027 elections. “The next election,” he stated, “will be APC versus Nigerians. It’s not just about APC versus PDP.” He urged the PDP members to prioritize unity within the party and solidify their base in preparation. “Let us do our bit to unite our party and our base, and then let the people of Nigeria speak,” he added.

Makinde’s remarks underline his belief that the 2027 elections will reflect Nigerians’ sentiment toward the current administration rather than a conventional partisan contest. He called on the PDP to focus on strengthening its internal cohesion and rallying public support.
