The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) says its main target is to revive the country’s economy and combat spiralling insecurity in the march to be in office next year.
According to the party, an elaborate blueprint is underway to address the issues and to be unveiled soon.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is the presidential candidate of the APM.
The party disclosed its focus in a statement issued on Monday by the National Publicity Secretary, Honourable Abubakar Yusuf, noting that Nigeria was in urgent need of a governance style that prioritised accountability and prudent management of funds.
The APM blamed the country’s current challenges on mismanagement by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing hunger, insecurity, high cost of living and failing infrastructure as evidence of the alleged misgovernance.
It also stated that increasing public debt, high taxation, inflation and insecurity had contributed to the exit of several multinational companies from Nigeria, just as many young Nigerians had left the country in search of improved economic prospects elsewhere.

According to the party, the governance agenda in view will focus on strategic investments in critical sectors, including oil and gas, power, agriculture, manufacturing, education, housing, and healthcare, to create jobs, attract foreign direct investment, and boosting private sector productivity.
The APM explained further, “APM blueprint comes with a new and transparent approach to governance. An approach that puts Nigerians first, prioritising inclusive human development and wellbeing through people-oriented policies and prudent management of resources that guarantee security of lives and property, industrialisation, massive youth employment, national infrastructural revolution, efficient public service and sustainable prosperity for all.
“The APM blueprint is service-oriented, forward-looking, and tailored to put Nigerians back to work, attract Foreign Direct Investment and boost private sector productivity through strategic investments in critical sectors including oil and gas, power, electricity, agriculture and food production, manufacturing, education, housing, healthcare among others.”
In addition, the party promised people-oriented policies anchored on social justice, respect for the rule of law, freedom of expression, and efficient public service if elected into office.
It called on Nigerians to embrace the party, assuring them that they would be better off for the choice in 2027.
