Seyi Makinde Launches Campaign, Critiques APC's Actions

Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for the 2027 general election, launched his campaign in Bauchi, where he accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of suffocating and muzzling opposition voices in Nigeria. His comments followed a Federal High Court judgment against the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, which he deemed unfortunate for democratic principles.

Makinde urged Nigerians not to reject money offered during the electioneering period, asserting that such funds belong to the people, but encouraged voters to make the right electoral choices. He criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic policies for worsening living conditions and highlighted insecurity as a significant challenge facing the nation.

Makinde introduced his party's Reset Nigeria Agenda, aimed at addressing the country's pressing issues and fostering sustainable development.
