Seyi Makinde Advocates for Federalism and Democracy Reset

Seyi Makinde, the Oyo state Governor and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), called for Nigeria to return to federalism and multiparty democracy. He made this statement on Saturday through a video message during the launch of the Makinde and Daura for Better Nigeria (MAD) Resetter Movement in Lagos.

The event was attended by APM leaders, party loyalists, stakeholders, and candidates for the 2027 general elections. Makinde emphasized the need for a comprehensive reset of Nigeria's economy, security architecture, education system, and socio-political environment.

He criticized the celebration of increased foreign reserves while ordinary citizens struggle to afford basic necessities, likening it to a household where the head boasts of savings while family members go hungry. He urged Nigerians to join the movement for a national reset and expressed optimism about its potential to improve the country.

Hon. Hassan Felix, Director-General of the Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation, also spoke at the event, highlighting the need for a change in direction.
