Nigeria election: Makinde calls for APC 'oppressors' to be ousted
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Tribune Online
APM candidate Seyi Makinde, speaking at a rally in Jos, Plateau State, called for a vote against the ruling party in 2027. He accuses the government of appropriating the slogan « Reform to Prosperity », which he says borrows from the ideas of his Reset Nigeria Agenda, according to his campaign organisation.
The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, has urged Nigerians to vote against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the January 2027 election, according to Tribune Online. Speaking at a rally on Monday in Jos, Plateau State, he described APC leaders as « oppressors » who have built a country that benefits only them.
Makinde accuses the ruling party of appropriating the APM's proposals: the slogan « Reform to Prosperity » reportedly borrows, he says, from his party's Reset Nigeria Agenda. He also makes security a priority, arguing that it would help revive tourism in Plateau and create jobs for young people. He spoke alongside his running mate Lawal Daura and the APM's national president, Yusuf Dantalle.
This statement extends Makinde's campaign, which presented his presidential programme on 4 November. On 7 November, he had already accused President Bola Tinubu of poorly planning his economic reforms.
