The presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), Engr. Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday unveiled the party’s manifesto, titled Reset Nigeria, calling on Nigerians to carefully examine its proposals, commitments and implementation timelines.
Makinde made the call during the unveiling of the APM’s manifesto at Congress Hall, Transcorp Hilton, Maitama District, Abuja.
Speaking at the event, Makinde described the manifesto as a framework that goes beyond political promises, noting that it contains specific proposals, defined responsibilities and measurable standards for assessing implementation.
According to him, “The Reset Nigeria manifesto contains detailed proposals, the responsibilities they create and the standard against which their implementation can be examined.”
He urged Nigerians across different backgrounds to take ownership of the national conversation by examining the document and demanding accountability.
“So I invite every Nigerian to read it carefully, study the commitments, examine the timelines, ask difficult questions, challenge our assumptions,” he said.
The APM presidential candidate further emphasised that the conversation about Nigeria’s future deserved serious attention, describing the country as one with the potential to become the greatest Black nation in the world.
Acknowledging the complexity of Nigeria’s challenges, Makinde maintained that practical and straightforward solutions could be developed to address them.
“Even though we may say our problems are complex, but we can provide simple solutions that will resonate with all Nigerians,” he stated.
Looking ahead, Makinde called for collective commitment to national rebuilding, protection of shared interests and the creation of opportunities that would encourage Nigerians in the diaspora to return home and contribute to national development.
In his closing remarks, he extended an invitation to Nigerians to join the journey, declaring: “Please join me on this journey.”
He added, “After January 16, we will have a country to rebuild, a shared interest to protect, and our children in diaspora will have the opportunity to come back to this country and contribute to nation building.”
