Makinde stated that his presidential ambition stems from a deep need to address critical national challenges and restore the core vision of Nigeria founding fathers, focusing on policies that directly improve living conditions and expand citizen access.
During the Abuja presentation, the governor emphasized that his proposed administration would prioritize institutional strength and ensure that macroeconomic stability translates into tangible benefits for ordinary citizens, according to information published by punchng.
Economic reforms and crude oil revenue distribution
Addressing core economic challenges, Makinde proposed a system where Nigerians directly benefit from increased crude oil revenues. He argued that additional earnings exceeding government budget benchmarks should translate directly into improved public welfare.
The governor stressed that government promises must be backed by clear implementation plans, measurable targets, and accountable institutions, questioning the true value of macroeconomic reforms if they fail to improve daily living conditions.
Electricity and infrastructure accountability targets
On the critical power sector, Makinde urged citizens to hold the Federal Government fully accountable for its persistent promises to improve electricity supply across the country.
He insisted that federal authorities must continue addressing ongoing generation and distribution challenges, regardless of the newly introduced electricity autonomy law governing the power sector.
Political system restructuring and national unity
Regarding the political landscape, Makinde proposed that winning presidential candidates should secure at least 51 percent of total votes to encourage broader political cooperation.
Furthermore, his running mate, Lawal Musa Daura, criticized the suppression of opposition parties, emphasizing that a level playing field and a vibrant opposition are essential for sustaining Nigerian democracy.
