Oyo State Governor and Allied Peoples’ Movement presidential candidate Seyi Makinde has called for a “complete reset” of Nigeria, arguing that the country needs more than mere reforms to progress. The statement was made in a recent interview with Punch Nigeria.

Makinde, who has served as Oyo State’s governor since 2019, is now campaigning for the 2025 presidential election. He has built his political profile on anti‑corruption initiatives and infrastructure projects aimed at improving the state’s economic performance.

“Nigeria needs a complete reset, not mere reform, to move forward.”

His remarks reflect a broader sentiment among Nigerians that the nation’s persistent economic and security challenges require a fundamental overhaul. The call for a reset comes as Makinde seeks to broaden his appeal beyond his home state in the upcoming national election.
