Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, has pledged to serve only one four-year term if elected in 2027, promising a transitional government of national unity while asking President Bola Tinubu to publish the Federal Government’s petroleum pricing template.
Makinde says Nigerians deserves relief from economic hardship and the right to know how fuel prices were determined, accusing the All Progressives Congress, APC led 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, Governor Makinde says his party would pursue a different approach to governance, built around transparency, public participation and power-sharing.
He demands that the Federal Government makes its petroleum pricing template public, arguing that expertise in solving Nigeria’s problems is not the exclusive preserve of those in power.

He faulted the administration’s policies on compressed natural gas, CNG, electric vehicles and the naira-for-crude initiative, saying they had failed to deliver the expected results as he recalls President Tinubu’s pledge to fix electricity within four years.
On concerns about the concentration of political power in one part of the country, particularly among northern stakeholders, Makinde pledges an inclusive administration that would accommodate the country’s diverse interests.
Earlier, APM National Leader and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, declared that the party had become a force in the opposition, pointing to its Governors, elected officials and growing membership.
