Makinde announced his the alliance under what he called “Reset Nigeria Movement.”
He declared “Therefore, today, I Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde, FNSE, announce my candidacy for the position of the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
He explained that the alliance was borne out of alleged plot to foist one party system on Nigeria.
Makinde declared that it’s time to reset Nigeria by tackling the socioeconomic and political challenges facing the country.
“This is the time to confront our fears. Do not be afraid,” Makinde said while urging Nigerians to engage in the development issues as citizens and not as onlookers.
