According to our reporter, Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde’s surprise visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja has reignited political rumors just as 2027 election strategies take shape. Watch full report

Makinde, a key PDP figure and member of the G-5 faction that opposed Atiku in 2023, met with Tinubu soon after Plateau Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s defection to APC.

Tensions remain high between Makinde and fellow G-5 member Nyesom Wike, especially after Wike reportedly promised Tinubu PDP support for his 2027 re-election—without consensus. Makinde rejected this move, reaffirming his opposition to Tinubu’s second term and commitment to multiparty democracy.

Details of their meeting remain under wraps, but this encounter could signal shifting alliances ahead of the crucial 2027 polls.
