The 2027 presidential candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) and governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has called on Nigerian Christians to participate in elections and mobilise for the 2027 presidential vote. He urged them to vote for capable leaders who, in his view, can reduce economic hardship and insecurity, during a religious service on Sunday at the headquarters of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State, reports Daily Trust.
Seyi Makinde presented his “Reset Nigeria Agenda” document to COCIN leaders, based on four pillars: security, the economy, education and the socio-political space. The APM candidate asked Nigerians to hold him accountable for the commitments set out in the programme and said he was ready to account for their implementation, according to Daily Trust.
The Oyo governor also urged Christians who avoid politics for religious or moral reasons to reconsider their position. He said the Church should use its civic influence and called on voters to participate massively in the 2027 election. Seyi Makinde said he had not come to Jos to conduct an open campaign, but to attend the service, seek prayers and encourage worshippers to make a political choice.
The intervention comes after Seyi Makinde presented his presidential programme on 4 November and promised a political and economic “reset” of Nigeria on 8 November Seyi Makinde unveils presidential programme in Nigeria and Seyi Makinde promises political and economic “reset” in Nigeria.
