Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Engr. Seyi Makinde, has expressed confidence in winning the 2027 Presidential election, citing God and Nigerians as his backing. Speaking at a church service at Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Jos, Plateau State, Makinde lamented Nigeria's dire need for economic, social, and political reset due to years of ineffective leadership.

The APM presidential candidate recounted his experience in Oyo State, where he became governor in 2018 without a political godfather, attributing his success to God's backing.
As the governor of Oyo State, Makinde anchored his stewardship on planning, transparency, and accountability. He developed a Road Map for the development of Oyo State covering 2019 to 2023 and another roadmap for sustainable development from 2023 to 2027. These documents guided his administration to deliver on its promises to the people. Makinde's experience in Oyo State has informed his approach to the presidency.

He presented the RESET NIGERIA Manifesto to the leadership of the Church, asking Nigerians to hold him accountable to the promises in the document. Makinde emphasized that everything is written down in black and white.

He stressed the importance of participation, saying, "Please, get ready and participate. History is about to happen again." The APM presidential candidate is counting on the support of Nigerians to achieve his goal.
The President of the COCIN, Rev. Dr. Amos Musa Mohzo, drew Makinde's attention to the pressing challenges facing the country, including worsening insecurity and economic hardship.
