The Allied Peoples' Movement Presidential Campaign Organization has initiated zonal town hall meetings across Nigeria's six geo-political zones. This effort is part of its nationwide consultation and grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 presidential election. A press briefing in Abuja announced the start of these meetings.

The first town hall meeting is scheduled for September 22, 2026, in Katsina, Katsina State, for the North-West zone. The campaign will then move to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on September 25, 2026, for the South-South zonal meeting. Meetings will also take place in Lafia, Nasarawa State, on September 28, 2026, for the North-Central zone, and Enugu, Enugu State, on September 30, 2026, for the South-East zone.

According to Tony Ehilebo, Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communication to the APM presidential candidate, these meetings will focus on critical national issues affecting the country's stability and citizens' wellbeing. The APM presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and his running mate, Alh. Lawal Daura, will engage Nigerians directly on their agenda to reset the country.

The campaign's message, "Reset Nigeria," aims to create a nation that works for all. Ehilebo emphasized that the campaign belongs to the people and that the presidential candidate is known for his strong bond with Nigerians across different classes, ethnicities, and creeds. The goal is to establish a nation with accessible, accountable, and service-driven leaders.

The Reset Nigeria message has gained traction across the country, and the campaign has become a grassroots movement with significant momentum ahead of the 2027 election. Since Governor Makinde's emergence as the APM presidential candidate, Nigerians have shown solidarity and goodwill, reflected in recent off-cycle and bye-elections.

The APM recently won the Bauchi State House of Assembly bye-election, demonstrating its growing support. The campaign organization has invited Nigerians to participate in the town hall meetings and thanked citizens for their support. Ehilebo expressed appreciation for the solidarity shown as the party works towards the APM's victory in the 2027 presidential election.

Key points of the APM's campaign include a focus on resetting Nigeria to a nation that truly works for all, with leaders who are accessible, accountable, and service-driven. The party aims to ensure transparent application of national resources for the benefit of all citizens. The campaign's grassroots momentum is expected to continue growing as it moves across the country.
