The Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State has disowned a group in the party purportedly in alliance with the Allied Peoples Movement in furtherance of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential ambition. The group, under the aegis of Stakeholders of the PDP and the APM in Ekiti State, had, at an advocacy and campaign awareness programme tagged “APM Awareness Campaign” in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, stated that it had begun grassroots mobilisation in support of Makinde’s presidential bid.

Makinde is the APM presidential candidate for the 2027 election. But the PDP State Chairman, Lanre Omolase, in a statement titled, “Ekiti PDP Disowns Makinde, APM,” issued in Ado Ekiti on Friday, said the party had completely distanced itself from the group and the purported mobilisation.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Ekiti State PDP, under my leadership, hereby distances itself completely from both the APM and any purported presidential mobilisation project for Governor Seyi Makinde.
