2027: Makinde urges S’East voters to reject ethnic, religious divisions

APM presidential candidate Seyi Makinde urged South-East voters not to allow ethnic and religious considerations to influence their choices in the 2027 general election. He made this appeal during an APM South-East town hall meeting in Enugu. Makinde emphasized that Nigeria's challenges affect citizens regardless of their ethnic or religious affiliations.

He urged Nigerians to reject divisions along ethnic and religious lines, stating that the country's problems require collective solutions. Makinde outlined his party's four major pillars for resetting: the economy, security architecture, education, and the socio-political space. He acknowledged Peter Obi's strong support in the South-East but insisted his party would bring its own agenda to voters.

The APM candidate called for removing all forms of division based on religion or ethnicity, emphasizing the need to create opportunities for the youth to tackle hunger, poverty, and move people from poverty to prosperity.
