APM presidential candidate Seyi Makinde urged Nigerians on Thursday to “collect politicians’ money but vote your conscience,” warning that campaign inducements should not dictate how citizens cast their ballots in the country’s 2027 presidential election.
Makinde stressed that voters must resist any financial or material offers from political parties or candidates, arguing that such practices undermine the integrity of the democratic process.
He pledged that, if elected in 2027, his administration would “reset the economy, security architecture and governance,” positioning these reforms as central pillars of his campaign platform.
Nigeria is slated to hold its next presidential election in 2027, a contest that will determine the leadership of Africa’s most populous nation amid ongoing challenges in economic performance, security and public sector management.
Makinde’s message reflects a broader call among opposition figures for cleaner politics and a focus on policy-driven governance as the country approaches the upcoming election cycle.
