Seyi Makinde, the Presidential Candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), unveiled his "Reset Nigeria Manifesto" in Abuja, pledging a government that prioritizes the needs of all Nigerians. The manifesto promises a National conference to address the issues facing the country, with Makinde emphasizing transparency and accountability.
According to Makinde, the goal is to create a transitional government where stakeholders from all backgrounds are involved in resolving Nigeria's problems. He stressed that the success of the administration would be measured by the 50 percent threshold of votes cast for the President, ensuring that the winner has broad popular support.
The candidate highlighted that the Reset Agenda was the result of extensive consultations, including town hall meetings across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria. He explained that these interactions allowed the people to voice their concerns and aspirations, which in turn shaped the platform.
Makinde promised that under his leadership, the government would work towards a Nigeria that benefits every citizen. He emphasized that the founding fathers of the nation understood the diversity and rivalries within the country, which is why they engaged in constitutional conferences to chart the country's future.
Concrete promises, according to Makinde, must be backed by responsible institutions, delivery plans, and measurable results that citizens can verify. He argued that four fundamental issues drove his decision to run for presidency: macroeconomic stability, government accountability, resource management, and the need for innovative leadership.
Key concerns shaping his presidency include improving macroeconomic stability to boost the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians through job creation, increased incomes, and reduced living costs. Makinde lamented the lack of ideas among Nigeria's leaders and the vast resources and human potential the nation possesses, which he believes are underutilized.
