2027: Makinde’s Presidential Posters Surface in Dutse, Jigawa Towns

Presidential campaign posters of Oyo State Governor, Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde, have surfaced across Dutse, the capital of Jigawa State, and several other towns in the state.

Reports from the area on Wednesday revealed that the posters, which suggest Governor Makinde’s interest in the 2027 presidential race under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have taken over roundabouts, major junctions, and streets in Dutse and some local government headquarters.

Slogans on the posters include messages such as “To move Nigeria forward 2027, His Excellency Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for President, Federal Republic of Nigeria” and “2027: To move Nigeria forward, Seyi Makinde is the answer.”

The development has since stirred political discussions in the state, with residents and political observers speculating about the governor’s future ambitions, though there has been no official confirmation from Governor Makinde or the PDP regarding his presidential plans.

As the build-up to the 2027 general elections continues to gather momentum, the emergence of these posters marks one of the early public hints of potential contenders for Nigeria’s top office.
