Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Ekiti Governor Kayode Fayemi, and former Osun Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola have visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta.
Makinde said the meeting focused on “important national issues” ahead of the upcoming general election. The visit comes amid political permutations for 2027, with Makinde having declared his presidential ambition in May.
Although Oyinlola is a PDP chieftain and Fayemi remains an APC member, speculations suggest the meeting may be connected to Makinde’s 2027 presidential bid.
Key Points:
The meeting signals potential political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections.
Makinde’s presidential ambition may be gaining momentum with cross-party support.
Obasanjo’s role as a kingmaker continues to attract political heavyweights.
The presence of APC’s Fayemi and PDP’s Oyinlola suggests possible cross-party alliances.
The timing follows Obasanjo’s recent attacks on Atiku, fuelling speculation about his preferred candidate.
