Seyi Makinde Confident in 2027 Presidential Bid

Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State and the Presidential Candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), expressed his hope that God will provide Nigeria with the right leadership in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. Speaking during a church service at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State, on Sunday, he stated that his ambition is supported by God and the Nigerian populace, not by any political godfather.

Makinde recalled skepticism about his chances in the 2018 gubernatorial election due to his lack of a powerful political backer, asserting that his faith in God led to his victory. He outlined his proposed Reset Nigeria Agenda, which focuses on security, the economy, education, and the socio-political system.

Makinde urged Nigerians to hold him accountable for his manifesto commitments and encouraged active political participation, particularly among Christians, in the 2027 elections. Rev. Dr Amos Mohzo, President of COCIN, prayed for Makinde's success and urged him to address Nigeria's pressing issues.
