Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate and Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde has pledged to address Nigeria's insecurity and other challenges facing the nation. He made this commitment during the North Central Town Hall engagement meeting and office flag-off of the party's presidential campaign in Lafia on Monday, September 28, 2026.

He aims to achieve this within four years, leveraging data science and logic to drive growth. According to Makinde, his administration would prioritize the welfare of Nigerians and work towards sustainable development.
The APM presidential candidate criticized the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, attributing the nation's economic woes to poor policy implementation. He claimed that the current government's actions have caused untold hardship for Nigerians. Makinde's comments reflect his party's stance on the country's economic situation.
