The posters bearing slogans such as “To Move Nigeria Forward 2027: His Excellency Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde for President, Federal Republic of Nigeria” and “2027.

“To Move Nigeria Forward, Seyi Makinde is the Answer”—have appeared prominently at roundabouts, junctions, and public spaces across Dutse and several local government headquarters.

Reacting to posters promoting Makinde’s presidential interest, a member said, the posters better painted Makinde as unserious and one who has made himself available as a tool in hands of the ruling APC, a chieftain of PDP, Dr Danladi Umar told CAPITAL POST on Thursday in Abuja.

Meanwhile, key locations in Dutse have been adorned with the campaign posters include Unity Pentagon, the Police Headquarters, Mai Kwaya Roundabout, Obasanjo Road, Muhammadu Buhari Street, Abdussalam Abubakar Street, and Abdullahi Mai Kano Road, among others.

The posters are also seen in major parts of Kano and strategic places in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State.

Speaking to journalists in Dutse, the National Secretary of the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group for Makinde 2027 (NYAG Makinde 2027), Alhaji Lawal Abdullahi, said the poster campaign marks the beginning of a national movement to draft Governor Makinde into the 2027 presidential race.

“His Excellency, Engineer Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde, has offered himself in service to Nigeria and Nigerians,” Abdullahi declared.

“We call on all lovers of democracy—regardless of party affiliation—to rally around him for the good of the country.”

He claimed that youth and civil society groups from parts of the country are supporting Makinde for presidency.
