The campaign is being driven by the Nigeria Youths Awareness Group, NYAG Makinde 2027, which says it is canvassing support across Northern Nigeria.
Speaking in Kano, the group’s national secretary, Mr Lawal Abdullahi, said consultations with key political figures were already concluded.
He noted that the group was preparing to deploy campaign materials across the North, citing Governor Makinde’s record in Oyo State as the foundation for his growing national appeal.
Governor Makinde has yet to comment publicly on the development.
