Oyo State Governor and Allied Peoples Oyo State Governor and Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, has expressed confidence in his chances in the 2027 presidential election, saying he has God and the support of Nigerians behind his ambition.
Makinde made the declaration on Sunday, November 8, 2026, during a church service at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State. He maintained that his presidential ambition was not dependent on political godfathers but on his faith in God and the support of the Nigerian people.
Recalling his political journey, Makinde referred to his successful campaign for the Oyo State governorship in 2019, saying he had faced questions about how he intended to become governor without the backing of influential political figures.
He recalled responding that he had God on his side, adding that the same belief guided his presidential ambition.
The governor said he remained optimistic that God would show mercy to Nigeria by providing the country with the leadership needed to address its challenges.
Makinde explained that his ambition to lead the country was informed by what he described as the need for a national reset. He said his proposed Reset Nigeria Agenda was developed to address challenges affecting the country’s governance and improve the lives of citizens.
According to him, the agenda focuses on four major areas: security, the economy, education and the socio-political system.
He also said his administration in Oyo State had been guided by planning, transparency and accountability, supported by development roadmaps covering his two terms in office, from 2019 to 2027.
Presenting copies of his Reset Nigeria Manifesto to the church leadership, Makinde urged Nigerians to scrutinise his proposals and hold him accountable for the commitments contained in the document.
He said his promises were documented and that he was prepared to be assessed against them if elected president.
The APM candidate further encouraged Nigerians, particularly Christians, to participate actively in the political process ahead of the 2027 general election. He urged citizens to prepare to exercise their democratic rights and make their voices count.
Earlier, the President of COCIN, Reverend Amos Musa Mohzo, drew Makinde’s attention to pressing national concerns, particularly insecurity and economic hardship. He also prayed for the candidate and encouraged him to continue his political journey.
Makinde’s appearance in Jos followed the flag-off of his presidential campaign in Bauchi State on Saturday, November 7. He was in Plateau State ahead of an APM campaign rally scheduled for Monday, November 9, at Rayfield Park.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has scheduled Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election for January 16, 2027. Makinde’s declaration forms part of his ongoing campaign to present the APM’s Reset Nigeria Agenda to voters across the country.
