Seyi Makinde Launches APM Campaign with Reset Agenda

On November 9, 2026, Seyi Makinde, the Oyo state Governor and presidential candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), launched his campaign at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Memorial Stadium in Bauchi. He called for support for his 'Reset Nigeria Agenda' aimed at addressing the country's insecurity and economic challenges.

Makinde criticized the current APC government for excluding the majority from governance and highlighted the need for a reset in security, economy, and socio-political structures. He encouraged the crowd to act as 'reset agents' in the upcoming 2027 elections, advising them to accept any monetary inducements but to vote according to their true beliefs.

Bauchi state Governor Bala Mohammed and APM Governorship candidate Yakubu Adamu also expressed their support for the APM, emphasizing youth and women inclusivity in governance. Lawal Daura, Makinde's running mate, stated that the agenda seeks to eliminate deceitful politics, while APM National Chairman Yusuf Dantalle criticized current socio-economic policies and promised a reversal of their negative impacts.
