Seyi Makinde political and traditional activities

Overview

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has been active in both traditional and national political spheres. Following his conferment with the chieftaincy titles of Aare Asoludero and Yeye Aare Asoludero by the traditional rulers of Ibarapaland, Makinde issued a warning to monarchs to remain apolitical and avoid partisan interference.

As the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) candidate for the 2027 presidential election, Makinde is developing a strategy that balances state governance with national ambitions. This includes naming Bimbo Adekanmbi as his preferred successor for the Oyo State governorship to ensure continuity. On the national stage, Makinde is reportedly engaging in discussions with Atiku Abubakar to potentially form a united opposition front for the 2027 elections, signaling a shift from previous political opposition.
