The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and Governor of Oyo State, ‘Seyi Makinde, has appointed legal practitioner and communication strategist Anthony Ehilebo as his Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communication ahead of the 2027 presidential election in Nigeria.
The strategic political move takes immediate effect, signalling a robust start to Makinde’s national campaign structure, with additional key appointments expected in the coming weeks.
Strategic Vision Behind the Anthony Ehilebo Appointment
Speaking on the fresh appointment, Governor Makinde highlighted the crucial role his new media chief will play throughout the upcoming electoral battle. He declared that Barrister Ehilebo brings unmatched expertise as a legal mind and communications expert to the team.
This dual background provides a firm base to drive the party’s core message of resetting the nation to secure victory in the upcoming APM presidential campaign.
Mobilising Voters for the 2027 Presidential Election in Nigeria
With the political landscape heating up, Governor Makinde made a direct appeal to citizens across the federation. He urged Nigerians to stand firm and rally behind the APM, emphasising that the 2027 contest offers a unique historical opportunity to steer the nation away from recent governance challenges.
Makinde stressed that voters must reject what he described as the failed leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Underlining his political mission, Makinde expressed full confidence in his growing team and their shared strategy. The appointment of a Seyi Makinde Special Adviser dedicated specifically to digital strategy shows a clear push to engage younger, tech-savvy demographics across digital platforms alongside traditional press channels.
“With unity, courage, and determination, we will reclaim Nigeria’s destiny and deliver the future our people deserve,” Makinde affirmed.
Building Momentum for the APM Presidential Campaign
