Former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State, Kunmi Mustapha, has backed Seyi Makinde for President in 2027. He recently shared that Makinde can be the brave and courageous leader Nigeria needs.
Speaking via a press statement to mark Seyi’s sixth anniversary as governor, Kunmi said that the Oyo State leader has displayed enough leadership qualities to prove that he can cope with the weight of the position.
He revealed that the present PDP crisis should not deceive people into thinking that the main opposition party cannot snatch power in 2027.
He declared that Makinde’s work to transform Oyo State from what it used to be, while also contributing to the progress of the nation, has not gone unnoticed.
“The current situation of the main opposition party in Nigeria is not an indication that the PDP cannot snatch power at the centre in 2027.
Makinde’s giant strides in developing the state and his contributions to the progress of Nigeria are unequal,” he said.

He appealed to Nigerians to only vote for politicians who care about their welfare, instead of those who prefer to make their lives miserable.
Kunmi concluded by saying that apart from Obafemi Awolowo, no other politician from Yorubaland has shown a clear vision for the development of his people like Makinde has.
“Makinde has distinguished himself as a brave man who exhibits uncommon leadership traits.
There has not been any politician in Yorubaland, apart from Pa Obafemi Awolowo, who has a vision for the development of the masses and put all his heart into actualising those visions.
Urban renewal, education, health and infrastructural revamping are part of where he scored greatly, not to talk of promotion of agri-economy, workers’ welfare, unequal employment drive and care for the elderly and other neglected population of the state since he assumed office in 2015,” he added.
