APM Elects New Leaders, Sets Economic Agenda for 2027

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has elected a new National Working Committee as the party steps up preparations for the 2027 general elections.

The election was conducted during the party’s second National Elective Convention held in Bauchi, where delegates from across Nigeria gathered to elect national officers and discuss the party’s direction ahead of the elections.

Yusuf Dantalle was returned as the National Chairman through an affirmation process, while other members of the National Working Committee were also elected.

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, emerged as the party’s National Leader.

Speaking on the party’s plans, Dantalle said the APM would focus on issues affecting Nigerians, particularly poverty, unemployment and the country’s economic challenges.

He said the party would promote what it described as true federalism and pursue policies aimed at improving the living conditions of Nigerians.

The party’s presidential candidate and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, also identified poverty reduction and job creation as key priorities of the APM ahead of the 2027 elections.

Makinde said the party would focus on policies capable of creating opportunities for Nigerians and addressing the economic difficulties facing citizens.

The APM leadership also presented the party as an alternative political platform ahead of the 2027 elections, while calling for greater cooperation among opposition parties.

With its national leadership structure now in place, the party is expected to focus on strengthening its structures, mobilising supporters and taking its economic programme to voters across the country.

The development comes as political parties continue to position themselves for the 2027 elections, with parties unveiling their leadership teams, candidates and policy priorities ahead of the polls.
