For Governor of Oyo State; Engr. Seyi Makinde to have attained his current position, it took him several failed attempts. With consistency and his goal-oriented nature, providence granted his heart desires making him the Governor of Oyo State in 2019.

His story is an inspiring one most especially for those who have been trying to achieve their dreams but failed. His story teaches doggedness, a mixture of consistency, sincerity of purpose, and patience. If his story is well scribbled with some artistic element infused into it, expect a sold-out movie at the box office.

In 2007, Omi Titun as he is fondly called vied for the Oyo South Senatorial seat under the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) but lost to the People’s Democratic Party candidate PDP Kamoru Adedibu. In 2010 under the PDP, he aspired for the Oyo South Senatorial seat in 2011 but lost the primary election.

In another attempt in 2014, he also targeted the Oyo State 2015 governorship ticket under the platform of the PDP, upon the conclusion of the party’s primary election, he was denied a nomination ticket. With self-belief and his will for a call to service to his people, Makinde however, remained true to his ambition and defected to the Social Democratic Party SDP, under which platform he contested for the Oyo State 2015 SDP gubernatorial candidate, but came out 3rd before eventually getting back to winning ways at the 2019 general election, where he defeated his closest rival and the All Progressive Congress APC candidate, Bayo Adelabu at the gubernatorial poll. Ever since that moment, the fortune of Oyo State has changed for good. Despite sheer criticism from all quarters, Seyi remains distinct in his approach to governance, by delivering all his campaign promises.

Ever since his swearing-in as Governor, he has been at loggerhead with Ekiti State ex-Governor, Peter Ayodele Fayose over who controls the soul of the South-West PDP. The Cold war between the two took the intervention of many party chieftains to reconcile them.

To prove his political strength, at the just concluded PDP South-West Exco elections that held in Osun state, Makinde and Fayose sheathe their sword with the ballot box. The issue of supremacy was put to rest as Makinde’s candidate, Hon. Taofeek Arapaja defeated the former governor’s Chief Eddy Olafeso.

Abisoye Fagade, the 47-year-old Nigerian marketing communication professional, is a man of many parts. And if words on the streets of Ibadan are anything to go by, Fagade has his eyes fixed on two goals, his hospitality outfit, and politics. While his hospitality outfit, Alexia’s Place, situated in a serene environment in the Opebi area of Ikeja has continued to grow steam since its inception, the founder and CEO of Sodium Brand Solutions has been closing ranks in the Oyo state All Progressive Congress. Fagade became popular in Oyo state politics when he made his entrance many years ago with the slogan, Oyo si ma dun (Oyo will be great) and now, the astute professional seems ready to return to politics.

To show he has his eyes fixed on the ball, Fagade was recently spotted in the Lagelu area of Oyo state where he began the process of reincarnating Lagelu in Oyo State politics. Fagade returned to his constituency to listen to his constituents and begin strategy towards taking Oyo state to an enviable height.

Speaking at a grand reception organised in his honour by the APC leadership of the party, Fagade said, “I must state here that I have personally taken up the gauntlet to join other well-meaning citizens in promoting the ideas of Progressive politics which we are known for in this part of the country. The project has since commenced as we have done a lot to alleviate the suffering of the people, especially at the grassroots through the ‘Oyo Si Maa Dun’ Foundation. I’m using this avenue to prepare our minds and encourage all of us to remain optimistic about the future of our dear state and that of our fatherland- Nigeria.
