Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has showed that the Peoples Democratic Party will produce Nigeria’s next president in the 2027 general elections. Makinde made the statement while addressing party members and stakeholders during the 103rd National Executive Committee meeting of his-backed PDP faction, held on Monday in Abuja.

Speaking from the podium, Makinde emphasised the party’s readiness and potential to reclaim power at the national level. “We should write it down. This gathering will produce House of Assembly members, will produce House of Representatives, will produce Senators, will produce Governors and will produce the next President,” he indicated.

At the meeting, that the Makinde camp would formally unveil Turaki as head of the caretaker committee. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the national convention of the PDP held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025, deepening the leadership crisis within Nigeria’s main opposition party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
