The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has officially launched its presidential campaign committee, with the party's presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde, declaring that it aims to secure at least two-thirds of the 103 million votes registered for the January 16, 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the inauguration in Abuja, Makinde's running mate, Mr. Lawal Daura, emphasized the party's commitment to working within the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026, to ensure a fair and transparent election process.
The APM's campaign, dubbed "Resetting Nigeria," seeks to address the country's challenges and correct its shortcomings. Daura, who represented Makinde at the event, expressed confidence in the party's chances, stating that it has a winning team comprising individuals with integrity and a proven track record of success. He assured Nigerians that the campaign will be conducted in a manner that is free from lies, deceit, and treachery.
The National Chairman of APM, Mr. Yusuf Dantalle, has urged members of the campaign committee to work together to deliver Makinde and Daura in 2027. Dantalle acknowledged that the task ahead will not be easy, but emphasized the importance of managing differences and backgrounds to achieve a common goal. He appealed to committee members to transform their collective commitment into victory for the party.
The Director-General of the campaign, Mr. Felix Hassan Hyat, has expressed gratitude for his appointment, noting that many qualified Nigerians could have been selected for the position. Hyat, a former Minister of State for Aviation, praised Makinde's credentials, citing his success in transforming Oyo State. He also highlighted the benefits of pairing Makinde with Daura, a well-trained security expert.
Hyat argued that Makinde is the right candidate to complete the South's second term in line with the political understanding of rotating the presidency between the North and South. He emphasized that the membership of the campaign committee comprises individuals with the capacity and determination to work for the country's benefit. Hyat also stressed the importance of Nigerians taking responsibility for their country's future.
