Seyi Makinde’s 2027 Presidential Posters Emerge in Jigawa, Spark Nationwide Campaign Moves

With the 2027 general elections drawing closer, campaign posters of Oyo State Governor, Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde, have surfaced in key locations across Jigawa State, stirring talks about a possible presidential run.

The posters, emblazoned with the logo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were prominently displayed in parts of Dutse, the state capital. Slogans like “To Move Nigeria Forward 2027: His Excellency Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for President” and “2027: Seyi Makinde Is the Answer” featured across major streets.

Locations where the posters were spotted include Unity Pentagon, Police Headquarters Roundabout, Mai Kwarin Roundabout, Obasanjo Road, Muhammadu Buhari Street, Abdulsalami Abubakar Street, and Abdullahi Mai Kano Road.

Confirming the development, Alhaji Lawal Abdullahi, National Secretary of the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group for Makinde 2027 (NYAG Makinde 2027), described it as part of a strategic mobilisation effort.

“We’ve held meetings across different groups and agreed to back Seyi Makinde for the presidency in 2027,” he said. “We’re already engaging stakeholders and intensifying efforts to push this movement nationwide.”

According to Abdullahi, the campaign has begun reaching political leaders across the country, with plans to spread visibility into more northern states, including Kano, Bauchi, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and Gombe by next week.

He also revealed that the group will soon take the campaign to southern Nigeria, as part of a broader plan to gain national traction ahead of the 2027 polls.
