The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has reaffirmed its commitment to providing an alternative political direction for Nigeria, as its presidential candidate, Engr. Seyi Makinde, called for far-reaching reforms to reposition the country’s economy, strengthen national security and promote a more inclusive political environment.
Makinde made the call at the flag-off of his presidential campaign at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi, where he urged Nigerians to take an active role in shaping the country’s future by supporting a national reset.
He observed that persistent insecurity, economic hardship and limited inclusiveness in governance had created the need for a new approach to national development, urging citizens who desire meaningful change to become part of the process.
The APM presidential candidate also emphasised the importance of national unity and responsible electoral participation. He encouraged voters to resist the influence of money in politics, noting that while they could accept money offered by politicians during campaigns, their votes should ultimately reflect their personal convictions.
