Seyi Makinde, and Prince Laja Adeoye following their emergence as presidential and Lagos State governorship candidates respectively under the platform of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Olusegun C A Taiwo (OCAT) on behalf of members across different states, reaffirmed its commitment to the political movements tagged “Reset Nigeria Movement” of Engr. Seyi Makinde and “Reset Lagos Agenda” of Prince Laja Adeoye.
According to the statement, SMD is fully prepared to embark on massive grassroots mobilization, sensitization campaigns, and community engagements across the country to ensure the success of both political projects.

The time has come to extend this developmental model to the national level through the Reset Nigeria Movement,” the statement read.
