2027: Makinde vows one-term presidency, challenges Tinubu on fuel prices

Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Seyi Makinde, has pledged to serve only one four-year term if elected in 2027, promising a transitional government of national unity while challenging President Bola Tinubu to publish the Federal Government’s petroleum pricing template.

Makinde said Nigerians deserved relief from economic hardship and the right to know how fuel prices were determined, accusing the Tinubu administration of failing to deliver on key promises, including electricity supply and alternative fuel policies.

Speaking at the APM North-East town hall meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, the Oyo State governor said his party would pursue a different approach to governance, built around transparency, public participation and power-sharing.

He demanded that the Federal Government make its petroleum pricing template public, arguing that expertise in solving Nigeria’s problems was not the exclusive preserve of those in power.
