Governor Seyi Makinde has pledged that, if he wins the 2027 Nigerian presidential election, his administration will establish a four‑year transitional Government of National Unity. The promise was made as part of his campaign platform ahead of the upcoming poll.
Makinde’s proposal calls for a coalition government that would bring together representatives from multiple political parties and regions, aiming to foster national cohesion and address longstanding divisions within the country.
In addition to his unity agenda, Makinde has urged the federal government to release its petroleum pricing template. He argues that publishing the formula used to set fuel prices would allow Nigerians to understand how the cost of petroleum products is determined.
Petroleum pricing has been a contentious issue in Nigeria, where fuel subsidies and price adjustments frequently spark public debate and protests. Transparency in the pricing mechanism is often cited by civil society groups as a step toward greater accountability.
Makinda’s calls for a unity government and greater transparency on fuel pricing are positioned as key reforms in his bid for the presidency, as candidates vie for voter support ahead of the 2027 election.
