Seyi Makinde Promises Four-Year Transitional Government

Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), announced his intention to create an all-inclusive transitional government of national unity that will not exceed four years if he is elected president in 2027. He made this pledge during the party’s North-East Zonal Town Hall Meeting in Yola, Adamawa State.

His proposed administration, set to begin on May 29, 2027, will focus on national unity, inclusiveness, and practical solutions to Nigeria's challenges. Makinde challenged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to publish its petroleum pricing template to clarify how petrol prices are determined, criticizing the government's failed policies on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electric vehicles.

He emphasized the need for practical solutions to the rising cost of living and urged the Federal Government to make its pricing calculations public. Makinde also accused the Tinubu administration of not fulfilling campaign promises, particularly in the power sector.
