Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has boldly declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will produce the next President of Nigeria in the 2027 general election.
Makinde made the declaration on Monday while addressing members and stakeholders at the 103rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP faction he backs, held in Abuja.
“We should write it down. This gathering will produce House of Assembly members, will produce House of Representatives members, will produce Senators, will produce Governors, and will produce the next President,” he said.
The statement comes amid ongoing leadership crisis and factionalisation within the PDP, which has split the main opposition party into rival camps largely aligned with Makinde on one side and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike on the other.
Despite court judgments and public disagreements, Makinde insisted that the PDP faction under his group’s leadership is united and ready to reclaim power in 2027.
The Oyo governor’s confidence is expressed even as the party continues to grapple with internal wrangling that has weakened its structure since losing power at the national level in 2015.
Political observers note that the PDP’s ability to resolve its leadership disputes and present a united front will be critical if it hopes to mount a serious challenge against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.
