Seyi Makinde Promises Four-Year Unity Government for 2027

Seyi Makinde, the Oyo State Governor and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), announced his intention to create an all-inclusive transitional government of national unity that would last no longer than four years if he is elected president in the 2027 general elections. He made this pledge during the party’s North-East Zonal Town Hall Meeting in Yola, Adamawa State.

Makinde stated that his administration would begin on May 29, 2027, focusing on national unity, inclusiveness, and practical solutions to Nigeria's challenges. He also urged the Federal Government to disclose its petroleum pricing template to help Nigerians understand petrol price determinations amid rising living costs.

Criticizing the Tinubu administration's policies on Compressed Natural Gas, electric vehicles, and the naira-for-crude initiative, he emphasized the need for practical solutions to alleviate the cost of living. Makinde's consultations across various regions highlighted issues of insecurity, poverty, and inadequate electricity supply, which he pledged to address.
