Seyi Makinde, presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), says he became governor of Oyo in 2019 without a godfather and believes the scenario can be replicated in 2027.
According to a statement by Richard Ihediwa, his director of
strategic communications, the governor spoke on Sunday during a church service
at the Church of Christ in Nations, Jos, Plateau state.
He said his presidential ambition is not backed by any
godfather but by God Almighty and Nigerians, adding that God would be merciful
to the country by providing the right leadership through the 2027 presidential
election.
“When I said in Oyo State in 2018 that I would like to be
governor, somebody asked me, ‘Governor of which Rotary District?’ I said
Governor of Oyo State, and they asked, ‘With no godfather; nobody in politics
who can stand in for you?’ I responded by saying, ‘Well, I have God the Father.
And I became the Governor of Oyo State,” the statement quoted the governor as
saying.
“This time around, we also have God the Father, and God will
be merciful unto Nigeria, and He will show us mercy in this country.”
Makinde said his ‘Reset Nigeria Agenda’ focuses on security,
the economy, education and the socio-political system, urging Nigerians to hold
him accountable for the promises in the document.
“I want Nigerians to be able to hold me accountable, not
just through promises but through documented commitments. Everything is written
down in black and white, and I am prepared to be held accountable for
everything contained in this document,” he said.
Makinde urged Nigerians to participate in politics and get
ready to enforce their will in the 2027 presidential election.
During the unveiling of his ‘Reset Agenda’ manifesto on
Wednesday, the APM presidential candidate said if elected, he would convert
crude oil earnings above the national budget benchmark into improved welfare
for Nigerians.
The governor noted that hunger, insecurity, and a lack of
inclusiveness are among the country’s major challenges.
