The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Presidential candidate Governor, Seyi Makinde on Friday, said he will establish a Government of National Unity if elected as Nigeria President in 2027.
Speaking during an interview with Arise Television monitored by our Correspondent, the APM presidential candidate hinted that he would serve only one term if elected President.
Expressing confidence in his political chances, he said the increase in votes secured by Mr Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso between previous elections and the 2023 general election was a clear indication of his better chances in the 2027 elections.
According to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Presidential candidate, his position on his political chances was informed by data, science and logic.
Speaking on the May 15, 2026 abduction of pupils and teachers by gunmen in Oriire local government area of Oyo state, the APM Presidential candidate said he made efforts to reach President Bola Tinubu during the abduction of pupils and teachers in the state but could not gain access to him.
Gov Makinde maintained that he attempted to see the President because he expected the Federal Government to be concerned about the kidnapping crisis, which kept the victims in captivity for 56 days.
The APM Presidential candidate stressed that President Tinubu had neither called him nor spoken with him directly since the incident.
“I tried to see the President when our students and our children and their teachers were kidnapped, because I thought if any part of Nigeria is going through such a challenge, the President should be interested. Actually, I expected the President to call me,” he said.
According to Makinde, he also called the State Chief of Protocol to facilitate access to Tinubu, but the official did not answer his call.
