Governor of Oyo, Seyi Makinde, has officially declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election under the platform of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), unveiling the Reset Nigeria Movement and a strategic alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the APM.
The declaration came during a high-profile Unity Mega Rally held at the historic Mapo Hall, where thousands of party loyalists, supporters, and political stakeholders gathered in a major show of strength.
The rally followed the formal signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the PDP and APM, supervised by Governor Makinde alongside the National Chairman of the APM, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle.
The agreement was earlier signed at the PDP South-West Secretariat, Soji Adagunodo House, along Old Ife Road in Ibadan, signalling a fresh political alignment ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Speaking on his presidential ambition, Makinde said Nigeria needs competent and accountable leadership capable of rebuilding public trust, strengthening institutions, and delivering measurable progress for all citizens.
Makinde alluded, “Nigeria cannot continue with politics as usual. This is the time to reset our nation, rebuild public trust, strengthen institutions, and create a system that works for all Nigerians”.
According to him, the Reset Nigeria agenda is focused on economic growth, job creation, education, healthcare, infrastructure development, power sector reforms, security, and institutional strengthening.
Makinde’s declaration was witnessed by party leaders, including Osun State former governor Olagusoye Oyinlola, professionals, youth groups and supporters, who are expected to gather as a nationwide mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election begins.
The campaign website also features a Truth Hub to counter misinformation, alongside a Media Resource Centre containing official statements, campaign materials, photographs, and biographical information for journalists and stakeholders.
