Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, the Makinde/Daura presidential campaign organisation of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has flagged off nationwide consultations with zonal town hall meetings.
Tony Ehilebo, special adviser on media and digital communication to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, who is the APM presidential candidate, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday. He said the exercise will hold across the six geopolitical zones to engage citizens and stakeholders.
The schedule starts in Katsina for the North West on September 22, then moves to Uyo, Akwa Ibom for South South on September 25, Lafia, Nasarawa for North Central on September 28, and Enugu for South East on September 30. Dates for the remaining zones will be announced later.
According to the statement, “The Zonal town hall meetings will be issue based and citizen driven. It will centre on critical issues of national importance, especially those touching directing on the stability of the nation and the wellbeing of all its citizens.”
It added, “Our presidential candidate is renowned for his strong affinity and bond with Nigerians, irrespective of class, ethnicity and creed. Our campaign belongs to the people. Our message is to reset Nigeria to a nation that truly works for all.”
“We are set to reset Nigeria to a nation where leaders are accessible, accountable and service driven; where the resources of the nation are transparently applied for the good of all; where the hard work and resourcefulness of citizens are valued and where their views respected,” the organisation said.
Ehilebo noted that Makinde’s emergence as APM candidate has attracted support nationwide, citing the party’s performance in recent off cycle and bye elections as evidence, and invited Nigerians to participate in the meetings.
