The internal challenges facing the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) have reportedly intensified following the absence of six South-South state chairmen from a town hall meeting organised by the party’s presidential campaign team for its candidate, Seyi Makinde. The development has raised questions about the level of unity within the party as it prepares for the 2027 general elections.
The town hall meeting was part of the APM’s engagement with stakeholders across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones, aimed at discussing national issues and presenting the party’s political agenda. Makinde has been using the meetings to outline his proposed plans for governance and seek support for his presidential ambition.
The reported boycott by the six chairmen has added another layer to concerns about internal coordination within the party. Their absence could complicate efforts to strengthen the APM’s grassroots structures and build consensus among state-level leaders ahead of the forthcoming elections.
The development also comes amid broader disagreements within the party over leadership arrangements, political influence and the integration of new members. Such tensions have placed renewed attention on the party’s ability to manage competing interests while expanding its political reach.
However, the specific reasons for the six chairmen’s absence and whether they formally communicated their grievances were not independently confirmed. Further clarification from the affected state executives and the party’s national leadership would be necessary to establish the full circumstances surrounding the reported boycott.
