A political figure identified as Daura, described as the running mate to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, has said President Bola Tinubu can be defeated in Nigeria's 2027 presidential election. According to Vanguard, when asked whether Tinubu could be beaten, Daura answered "Very well," arguing that the President's government has made "several errors." Daura also stated that Tinubu is "not a stranger" to him. The remarks, published by Vanguard News, reflect early political positioning ahead of the 2027 polls.

Lawal Daura, identified by Naija News as a former Director-General of the Department of State Services and vice-presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, has claimed that former President Muhammadu Buhari was betrayed by questionable individuals who surrounded him during his time in office. According to Naija News, Daura said he knows the details of the alleged betrayal, though the report does not specify the individuals involved or provide further particulars of his claims.

Lawal Daura, former Director-General of Nigeria's Department of State Services and vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Movement, has said he does not regret his role in the blockade of the National Assembly during the administration of late former President Muhammadu Buhari. Speaking on Channels Television, Daura stated that he needed no authority to shut down the National Assembly gate, according to the Daily Post report of his remarks.

Daura, who is associated with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has said President Bola Tinubu is beatable in the 2027 election, claiming his government is committing many errors, according to Channels Television. Speaking on why Nigerians should consider the APM presidential ticket, Daura said he and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde share a similar passion for Nigeria centred on resetting the country. The comments were made ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general election.

Former Director-General of Nigeria's Department of State Services, Lawal Daura, has explained his decision to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC), associated with Atiku Abubakar, for the All Progressives Movement (APM), linked to Governor Seyi Makinde. Speaking on Channels Television's Politics Today programme on Monday, Daura said his departure from the ADC was primarily influenced by what he described as a lack of leadership within the party.

The national leader of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Senator Bala Mohammed, has described the party's 2027 presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, as possessing a "remarkable résumé" and the experience required to lead Nigeria. According to Tribune Online, Mohammed, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is now the Bauchi-South senatorial candidate.
