Seyi Makinde Promises Education and Security Reforms in 2027

Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and current governor of Oyo State, presented his Reset Nigeria Agenda during a town hall meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. He emphasized the importance of education for a thriving democracy and middle class, stating that skills and knowledge are essential for economic prosperity.

Makinde acknowledged the ongoing issue of militancy in the Niger Delta, asserting that his agenda would aim to resolve it completely. He criticized the current administration's tax system for disproportionately affecting the poor and vulnerable, advocating for tax breaks to encourage entrepreneurship.

He referenced his experience in Oyo State, where he increased the state's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) without raising taxes. Makinde's proposals aim to reset education, security, and the economy as part of his campaign for the 2027 presidential election.
