APM Launches Campaign Committee, Targets 40% Voter Share

On October 7, the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation inaugurated its campaign committee in Abuja, targeting two-fifths of the electorate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). Seyi Makinde, the APM's presidential candidate and Governor of Oyo State, was represented by his running mate, Lawal Daura.

Daura noted that the voter register has surpassed 103 million, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria's democratic history. The campaign's objective is to secure two-fifths of this figure, which Daura stated is crucial for the organization.

He warned against electoral malpractice, asserting that the campaign would adhere strictly to the law and the Electoral Act. Daura cautioned those considering shortcuts to gain votes, indicating that the campaign would not tolerate such actions.

Felix Hayat, the Director-General of the Campaign Organisation, also urged Nigerians to avoid voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and called on the North to support the South in maintaining power rotation for national unity.
