…says Makinde has capacity to lead Nigeria’s next chapter
From Charity Nwakaudu, Abuja
The Reset Nigeria Movement has urged Nigerians to unite and chart a new direction for the country, saying the nation urgently needs better leadership and stronger institutions.
The political group promoting the presidential ambition of Oyo State Governor and Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) candidate, Seyi Makinde, made the call in a statement yesterday in Abuja.
National Coordinator, Reset Agents, Osi Iwenekhai, said the movement was an ideological drive aimed at changing the narrative of governance and development in Nigeria.
He said the movement was not about taking Nigeria back to the past, but about restoring confidence in the country’s future.
According to him, the Reset Nigeria agenda focuses on economic growth, job creation, education, healthcare, infrastructure, power sector reforms, security and institutional strengthening.
“When people hear ‘Reset Nigeria’, some may be skeptical. Nigerians have heard grand promises before, and for too many, the ‘change’ delivered has fallen short of the ‘hope’ sold.

“Reset Nigeria is not about returning to yesterday. It is about restoring confidence in our future. It is a commitment to build the Nigeria we should already have a nation where leadership is accountable, institutions are strong, the economy creates opportunities, security is guaranteed, and every citizen can live with dignity and hope,” he said.
Iwenekhai said the need for a national reset was evident in the daily struggles of Nigerians, including rising living costs, pressure on businesses, unemployment, insecurity and declining confidence in public institutions.
He added that many Nigerians had yet to experience the progress they expected under the current administration.
“Reset Nigeria means changing the direction of governance to deliver better outcomes, restoring trust in public institutions, securing lives and property, growing an inclusive economy, creating opportunities for young people and building institutions that are stronger than any individual or political party,” he said.
The group urged Nigerians to join the movement, stressing that leadership remained critical to transforming national aspirations into reality.
Iwenekhai said Makinde possessed the experience, competence and character required to lead the country, citing his record in governance and management of public resources.
“His record of delivering measurable results, strengthening institutions, managing public resources responsibly and putting people at the centre of governance gives us confidence that he has the capacity to lead Nigeria’s next chapter,” he said.
He, however, stressed that Reset Nigeria was bigger than any individual, describing it as a national movement driven by Nigerians’ desire for a more prosperous, secure and better-governed country.
