"THE MAKINDE STANDARD" IDENTIFIED AS THE BLUEPRINT FOR NIGERIA'S #AFRESHSTART

As the conversation regarding Nigeria's leadership in 2027 gathers momentum, political stakeholders, policy analysts, and private sector leaders have spotlighted the governance model of Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, as the requisite template for national recovery.

Under the banner of #AFreshStart, the Coalition for National Rebirth (CNR) has issued a statement detailing why Governor Makinde's track record positions him as the most capable hand to steer Nigeria toward economic stability and national cohesion.

The "Oyo Model"
The call for a Makinde presidency is not based on promises, but on verifiable data. The Coalition highlights three key areas where Makinde has demonstrated presidential capacity:

• Pragmatic Economic Expansion: By expanding the tax net without increasing the tax burden on the poor, Makinde grew Oyo State's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) significantly.

His focus on "Agribusiness over Agriculture" has turned peasant farming into a commercial enterprise, a model that, if replicated at the federal level—would solve Nigeria's food inflation crisis.

• Engineering Security Solutions: Understanding that security is local, Makinde was a pivotal force in the establishment of the Amotekun Corps. His ability to navigate constitutional hurdles to protect his people demonstrates the political will and courage needed by a Commander-in-Chief.

• Fiscal Discipline & Infrastructure: Amidst national economic downturns, Oyo State under Makinde has consistently paid salaries and pensions on the 25th of every month, injecting liquidity into the local economy while simultaneously delivering massive infrastructure projects like the Moniya-Iseyin road and independent power projects.

"Nigeria does not need another politician who speaks in abstractions; we need an Engineer who understands systems," said Dr. Musa Abubakar, Convener of the Coalition.

"Seyi Makinde has shown that he can manage diversity, secure a territory, and grow an economy simultaneously.

He represents a break from the past—a true #AFreshStart."
Unifying the Nation
Beyond economics, Governor Makinde is viewed as a bridge-builder.

His pragmatic approach to national issues, devoid of ethnic or religious bigotry, positions him as a leader capable of healing the deep fractures within the Nigerian polity.

While Governor Makinde continues to focus on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Oyo State, the #AFreshStart movement is mobilizing Nigerians to demand this level of competence on the national stage.

The Coalition insists that 2027 must be defined by capacity, character, and track record—all of which define the Makinde brand.
