Makinde’s PDP-APM Shift Could Ground Atiku’s 2027 Bid

With Seyi Makinde joining the PDP-APM platform, Atiku Abubakar may struggle to find a strong running mate for 2027. Historically, Atiku partners with a sitting governor who can bankroll his campaign. Makinde’s exit leaves no southern governor available for his ticket. Potential choices like Rotimi Amaechi or Emeka Ihedioha could fall short against Peter Obi’s influence in the Southeast and South-South. This scenario sets up a two-horse race between Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu, with momentum clearly leaning towards Obi.
