Seyi Makinde, the presidential candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), has announced that the party will unveil its manifesto on November 4, 2026. This announcement was made during a town hall meeting in Enugu, which was attended by various stakeholders. The manifesto is expected to capture the issues raised by Nigerians during the town hall meetings held in the six geopolitical zones of the country.
According to Makinde, the APM's reset agenda has four major pillars: resetting the economy, restructuring the security architecture, reforming the education system, and resetting the socio-political space. He emphasized that the party's approach is different from others, as they listen to the people and incorporate their expectations into their agenda. The town hall meetings were held to gather input from Nigerians and address their concerns.
Makinde urged the people of South-east to shun ethnic politics and focus on the issues that affect the country as a whole. He acknowledged that Nigeria faces challenges, but expressed optimism that 30 percent of these challenges can be resolved through sincerity. The governor of Oyo state emphasized the need for honest and sincere leadership to address the country's problems.

He explained that the campaign team has traveled round the country and has witnessed the challenges Nigerians are facing, adding that no nation would continue to endure widespread hunger and deprivation.

He and Makinde are determined to undertake this mission, with the goal of reforming the system and making it work for the people. Daura described Makinde and himself as "Reseters" who are committed to achieving this objective.
