Seyi Makinde, presidential candidate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has reaffirmed his commitment to a four-year term if elected president in the 2027 general election. During a town hall meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, Makinde emphasized his plan to implement a transitional government of national unity. He challenged incumbent President Bola Tinubu to publish a fuel pricing template, accusing him of failing to meet electoral promises.
Makinde’s pledge aligns with his broader strategy to address Nigeria’s economic and political challenges. He outlined plans to focus on infrastructure development, job creation, and public service reform. His campaign has centered on transparency and accountability, with a strong emphasis on restoring public trust in government institutions.
This announcement comes as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) finalized the list of governorship candidates for the 2027 election in Oyo State. Among the candidates is Abimbola Adekanmbi, APM’s flagbearer, who is running against Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The political landscape remains highly competitive, with multiple parties vying for influence in key states.
Makinde’s four-year term proposal reflects a growing trend among Nigerian political leaders to limit presidential power and promote stability. His campaign has also highlighted the need for structural reforms to address systemic corruption and economic stagnation. As the election approaches, the focus remains on policy platforms and public engagement.
