Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, a 2027 presidential candidate, accuses Bola Tinubu's administration of building a Nigeria that mainly benefits the ruling elites. At an Allied Peoples Movement rally in Jos, Plateau State, he called on voters to change the government, according to Business Day Nigeria.
Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM)'s candidate for the 2027 presidential election, called on Nigerian voters to oust the current political leadership at the next presidential election. He was speaking on Tuesday in Jos, Plateau State, at an APM campaign rally, according to Business Day Nigeria.
Makinde asked his supporters to take the "RESET Nigeria" programme all the way to their polling stations, arguing that elections are won at the local level. He also said that Nigerians had yet to benefit from the improvement in living conditions promised by the federal government after the removal of the fuel subsidy, according to Business Day Nigeria.
The candidate linked security to economic development in Plateau State. He said improved security would attract tourists to Jos and the region's natural sites, creating jobs and expanding the local economy, according to Business Day Nigeria.
The rally comes after the presentation of Seyi Makinde's presidential programme on 4 November, followed by his positions on Bola Tinubu's economic reforms on 7 November and on political and economic reform in Nigeria on 8 November.
