APM presidential candidate Seyi Makinde says he has no political godfather except God, and he believes faith and public support will carry him to victory in 2027.
He made the remarks at a church service organised by the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State.
Makinde said Nigeria badly needs a reset after years of poor leadership, hardship and social problems, especially over the last three and a half years.
He said his RESET NIGERIA manifesto is a plan to make life easier for ordinary people.
He presented it to the church leaders.
Seyi has recalled that when he ran for governor of Oyo State, people asked who would back him since he had no godfather.
He said he told them he had God, and he won in 2019.
Reports said that the same faith will guide his presidential bid.
He also pointed to the development roadmaps he used in Oyo for his two terms, from 2019 to 2027, as proof that his government planned carefully and was open about its work.
The RESET NIGERIA agenda rests on four areas: security, the economy, education and the socio political space.
Makinde challenged Nigerians to hold him to what is written in the manifesto.
He also urged Christians to take part in politics and get ready to vote in 2027.
The church's president, Rev. Dr. Amos Musa Mohzo, raised concerns about insecurity and economic hardship and prayed for Makinde's success.
Makinde is in Jos ahead of an APM campaign rally scheduled for Monday at Rayfield Park.
