The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) on Saturday said it will formally flag off its 2027 presidential campaign on Monday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), had on August 18, lifted the ban on presidential and National Assembly campaigns for the January 16 national elections.
APM, in a statement on Saturday by the National Publicity Secretary Abubakar Yusuf, said its campaign flag-off would be marked with the official commissioning of the presidential campaign office in Abuja.
“The Makinde/Daura presidential campaign office serves as the national coordinating hub for the campaign’s administration of issue-based, people-driven campaign tailored to strengthen the party’s determination to ensure the victory of its candidate in the 2027 presidential election,” the party said in the statement.
It assured that the Makinde/Daura campaign would focus on solutions while presenting the candidate’s policy choices and proven record of governance to the electorate.
“APM begins this journey with confidence, humility and an unwavering commitment to present Nigerians with a credible alternative and leadership capable of restoring hope, security, prosperity and national pride,” the party stated.
It boasted that Makinde’s candidacy would offer “the combination of competence, youthful energy, administrative experience and broad public acceptance required to build a safer, more prosperous, united and functional Nigeria.”
The party disclosed that its candidate had embarked on extensive consultations with political leaders, stakeholders and communities across the country, in preparation for the campaign flag-off.
“These engagements aimed to understand the aspirations and concerns of Nigerians and develop a comprehensive national agenda capable of addressing the country’s most pressing challenges,” APM stated, and assured that a comprehensive policy blueprint outlining practical and measurable solutions to the challenges confronting Nigerians and Governor Makinde’s vision for a better-governed Nigeria would be unveiled in due time.
“The 2027 election therefore presents Nigerians with an opportunity to choose between renewed hopelessness represented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s failed administration and an agenda aimed at resetting Nigeria to a nation that works under Engr. Makinde.
“It is clear that Nigerians will not reward failure with another mandate.
“Instead, they will use their democratic power to vote in a competent, accountable and responsive leadership on the platform of the APM,” the party stated.
