Seyi Makinde called on Nigerian voters to accept money that may be offered to them during the campaign for the 2027 general elections, while voting according to their conscience. He made the call on Saturday in Bauchi, during the launch of his presidential campaign, according to Leadership.

Seyi Makinde said that voters could take this money and use it without allowing financial incentives to determine their electoral choice. He called on Nigerians unhappy with insecurity, hunger and the government's response to the country's difficulties to support his political movement.

The presidential candidate also described his supporters as the « Resetters » and said his party wanted to strengthen security, respect communities and promote greater participation by Nigerians in governance. He thanked Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi State and national leader of his party, for hosting the campaign launch, according to Leadership.
