In a video shared on his social media, Makinde displayed his PVC and called on citizens to collect theirs by October 9, 2026, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed the commencement of PVC collection. Makinde emphasized that the PVC represents the power of citizens to participate in choosing their leaders and urged everyone to participate in the electoral process, regardless of their preferred candidate. Makinde, who is contesting the 2027 presidential election on the Allied Peoples Movement platform, has been making preparations for his campaign, which aims to secure between 41 million and 68 million votes.",
