Ahead of 2027 general election, the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group Makinde 2027 (NYAG Makinde 2027) has commenced the mobilization of northern youth to support the Presidential aspiration of Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde.
The group claimed that Makinde has the capacity to move Nigeria forward and called on all lovers of democracy, regardless of political affiliation, to rally behind him to end the misrule of President Bola Tinubu.
In an interactive session with journalists in Kano over the weekend, the National Secretary of the group, Alhaji Lawal Abdullahi, stated that Makinde achievements in Oyo state is remarkable and assured that he will replicate same in Nigeria if he becomes the next president.
“We have met as different groups and agreed to unite behind Seyi Makinde for President in 2027. We are a moving train, and nothing can stop us until we achieve our objective of a Makinde presidency.”
According to him, the group has resolved to commit its full strength to the Makinde 2027 presidential project by mobilizing massive support across the North.
“We have held consultations with prominent politicians and eminent personalities across the country, and we have their backing. The Seyi Makinde 2027 project is a massive movement that will catch on and spread like wildfire.
“We have concluded all necessary arrangements. Posters, billboards, handbills, and other branded materials are ready. By next week, in-sha Allah, they will flood the entire Northern Nigeria.”
“Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Borno, Yobe, and Gombe will erupt with support for Seyi Makinde next week. Other states will follow. Our movement will take over Northern Nigeria for Makinde, after which we will extend our reach to Southern Nigeria,” he added.
On why he thinks Makinde will be able to deliver the dividends of democracy if elected Abdullahi continued,
“We have closely followed Governor Makinde’s achievements in Oyo State and have seen that he is a focused administrator committed to improving lives. He is the kind of leader Nigeria needs right now.”
