Seyi Makinde, presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), unveiled his party’s “Reset Agenda” during a campaign rally in Jos, Plateau State. The primary focus of the plan is to restore peace, security and economic prosperity nationwide by implementing measures that would benefit all citizens. Makinde highlighted security as a crucial factor in his vision for national renewal, asserting that peace would unlock economic opportunities, particularly in the tourism sector.

He argued that Plateau State, known for its potential as a leading tourist destination, could regain its former glory once the issue of insecurity was resolved. The APM presidential hopeful urged his supporters to disseminate the campaign message to their respective polling units, emphasizing that elections are decided at the grassroots level.

Makinde claimed that the ruling government had adopted elements of his party’s campaign message after previously dismissing them, questioning what the administration had accomplished over the past three years. Calling for political change, Makinde urged voters to reject an oppressive system and support the APM in the upcoming general election, asserting that his party aimed to build an inclusive nation that would serve the interests of present and future generations.

Earlier, APM National Chairman Yusuf Mamman Dantalle called on Nigerians to embrace the party’s vision for national rebirth, urging citizens to back the party’s political and social transformation. Dantalle lamented the damage years of insecurity and instability had inflicted on Plateau State’s image and economic prospects, portraying the APM as a vehicle for restoring hope and accountability in governance.

He emphasized that his political engagement was rooted in the interests of ordinary Nigerians, rather than personal wealth or privilege, and urged supporters to remain committed to grassroots mobilization and the promotion of the APM’s message across communities. The rally saw supporters from across Plateau State, contributing to the APM’s efforts to consolidate support in the North-central region ahead of the presidential election.
