Seyi Makinde, the 2027 presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has officially kicked off his campaign, urging Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the state of the country to rally behind his promise of a “national reset.”
In his launch remarks, Makinde identified three core challenges he says have plagued the nation: widespread hunger, persistent insecurity and the exclusion of many citizens from meaningful participation in governance.
He appealed directly to Nigerians who feel let down by current conditions, urging them to support his bid as a way to address these pressing problems and to chart a new direction for the country.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, has faced rising food insecurity, frequent security incidents and concerns over political marginalisation in recent years, issues that have intensified public frustration ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
Makinde’s call for a national reset adds to a growing chorus of political voices positioning themselves for the upcoming presidential race, as parties and candidates seek to capture the electorate’s desire for change.
