‘No Mudslinging, No Violence’: APM Unveils Campaign Strategy Ahead Of 2027

The Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Oyo State has pledged to conduct an issue-based and violence-free campaign as it prepares to formally launch its campaign for the 2027 general elections on Saturday.

The party said the campaign would focus on consolidating the gains recorded under the administration of Governor ‘Seyi Makinde while presenting its vision for the continued development of the state.

The Director-General of the APM Governorship and Presidential Elections Apex Campaign Council, Dr Nureni Adeniran, disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan after a meeting between the campaign council and candidates contesting various elective positions on the party’s platform.

Adeniran said the meeting was convened to review campaign strategies, strengthen coordination among candidates and establish a unified approach ahead of the elections.

“Our campaign will be entirely issue-based and fact-based. We are not going to engage in abusive language, mudslinging or any form of violence.

“We want the people of Oyo State to assess us based on our manifesto, the achievements of the present administration and the political antecedents of our leader, Governor Seyi Makinde,” he said.

He added that the party believed elections should revolve around ideas, verifiable achievements and the capacity to deliver good governance rather than personal attacks and political distractions.

According to him, the candidates have agreed to sustain the existing unity and cooperation within the party, with the campaign council coordinating activities across the state.

“Our timetable has been prepared and forwarded to INEC, while the relevant security agencies will also be carried along,” Adeniran said.

He appealed to APM supporters across the 33 local government areas to attend the campaign flag-off at Durbar Stadium, Oyo Town, on Saturday and subsequent rallies.

Adeniran said the campaign would also provide an opportunity for the party to showcase its achievements and outline its plans for the state’s future.

“This campaign is not merely about winning elections; it is about consolidating progress, expanding opportunities and building a stronger future for every part of Oyo State.

“We appreciate the trust the people placed in us in 2019 and 2023, and we look forward to presenting our vision and achievements to them as we seek an even stronger mandate in 2027,” he said.

He expressed confidence that the party’s record and commitment to issue-based engagement would feature prominently in its campaign across Oyo State.
