2027: Nigeria Needs a Reset, Not Reforms, Makinde Says

Seyi Makinde, Oyo State governor and presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), says Nigeria needs a fundamental reset rather than reforms to address its economic, security and governance challenges before the 2027 elections. He spoke Sunday on Jay FM 101.9 in Jos, ahead of the APM presidential campaign launch in the city. Makinde named the economy as the top priority of his proposed agenda, saying its performance should be judged by whether households can afford basic needs, and called for investment in skills, education, production and jobs. On security, he advocated state police, allowing states to adopt the system when ready and with appropriate safeguards.
