Makinde called on opposition leaders to unite against what he described as a deliberate effort by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to redirect Nigeria to a one party state.
He maintained that Nigeria no longer operates democracy without a political landscape that guarantees a level playing ground for opposition parties without the interference of the ruling party.
He equally called on Nigerians to rise above being what he described as political spectators and bystanders, assuring that with collective participation of all Nigerian of eligible age for voting, Nigeria would record a historic reset come 2027.
