  "account": "Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, has declared his intention to serve a four-year term as president if elected in 2027. During a meeting with APM stakeholders in Yola, Adamawa State, Makinde stated that the government under President Bola Tinubu has failed to fulfill its electoral promises made in 2023. The APM candidate argued that the new administration would be a \"transitional government of national unity,\" which would not exceed four years in duration.\n\nAddressing the public, Makinde emphasized the need for transparency in fuel pricing and called on the federal government to publish its petroleum pricing template. He explained that the current administration had promised to solve the nation's challenges, but they failed to deliver on key issues such as electricity and the presidential policy on CNG and electric vehicles. Makinde challenged the government to present a better solution, asserting that citizens have the right to know how fuel prices are determined and that they deserve relief from the current hardships.\n\nThe APM presidential candidate also highlighted insecurity, poverty, and inadequate electricity supply as major challenges facing Nigeria. He stressed the importance of addressing these issues through sincere and inclusive policies that reflect the needs and aspirations of Nigerians. Makinde expressed optimism about the APM's growing influence, stating that the party was a formidable opposition platform with a strong base of patriotic and honest Nigerians.\n\nAPM's National Leader, Senator Bala Mohammed, also addressed the gathering, emphasizing the party's potential to play a significant role in the country's political landscape. He pointed out that the APM currently has two governors and other elected representatives, making it a force to be reckoned with. The party's two presidential candidates, Makinde and Mohammed, are seen as potential successors to the presidency, aiming to bring about a reset agenda and provide Nigerians with the truth about the country's situation.",
