Recalling his expertise through the 2019 governorship election in Oyo State, Makinde stated he had confronted questions on how he hoped to turn into governor with out the assist of influential political figures.

“When I said in Oyo State in 2018 that I wanted to become governor, somebody asked me, ‘Governor of which Rotary District?’ They also asked who my political godfather was. I told them I had God the Father, and I became the Governor of Oyo State.”

He expressed confidence that God would once again support his presidential ambition and show mercy to Nigeria.

The APM candidate said Nigeria needed an urgent governance reset to address poor leadership, economic hardship and other challenges facing the country.

“The need to change the direction of our country informed the RESET NIGERIA agenda, which is designed to make life easier for Nigerians.

“The agenda focuses on four key areas: security, the economy, education and the socio-political space,” he stated.
