Seyi Makinde, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate and Governor of Oyo State, has urged Nigerians dissatisfied with the country's current state to support his 'Reset Nigeria' agenda. Speaking at the APM's presidential campaign launch in Bauchi, Makinde called for a reform of the nation's security system to enhance citizen safety. He emphasized that if Nigerians are unhappy with the current situation, they have a path forward by supporting his agenda.

Makinde encouraged attendees to accept any money offered during the campaign, but insisted they should vote according to their true feelings, which he believes align with the APM. He stated that the current situation in Nigeria lacks inclusivity and that the government has failed to address issues sincerely. Makinde's 'Reset Nigeria' agenda aims to change this narrative.

Lawal Daura, the APM's vice-presidential candidate, claimed that the party's Reset Agenda would foster honesty and accountability, ensuring all Nigerians have a role in governance. He warned against the politics of deceit, promising that the APM aims to promote integrity in government positions. This agenda is a key part of the APM's campaign.

Bala Mohammed, the APM's National Leader and Governor of Bauchi State, highlighted the need for a fair and inclusive government should Makinde be elected. He stressed that opportunities must be open to all, regardless of ethnic or religious affiliations. Mohammed expressed his support for Makinde due to his positive track record in Oyo State.

Mohammed added that positions within the government must reflect Nigeria's diversity, advocating for merit-based appointments in line with the principle of federal character. This, he believes, is crucial for a fair and inclusive government. The APM's focus on diversity and merit-based appointments is a key aspect of their campaign.

Makinde's 'Reset Nigeria' agenda has gained attention from Nigerians who are discontented with the current state of the country. His call for a reform of the nation's security system and promotion of inclusivity resonates with many. The APM's campaign is gaining momentum as Nigerians consider their options for the upcoming election.

The APM's presidential campaign launch in Bauchi marked a significant milestone in their quest for power. With Makinde at the helm, the party is optimistic about their chances in the election. The 'Reset Nigeria' agenda is a central part of their campaign, and they believe it has the potential to bring about positive change in the country.
