Yes, Together We Can!

[Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde]

Grateful to my brother, His Excellency Bala Mohammed who led the leadership of the Allied Peoples' Movement on a visit to commiserate with us over the abduction of our children and teachers in Oriire LGA.

It's been about one month since the incident. Together with the security agencies, we are doing everything possible to ensure they are safely returned to their families who have been in anguish. We will not relent until they are all back home where they belong.

[Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde]

As we mark this year’s Eid and Children's Day, our thoughts are with every family awaiting the return of their loved ones, and with security agencies working to keep our communities safe.

We are working to ensure the safe return of those who were kidnapped in Oriire LGA. May this holy season fill our State with peace.

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation about industrialisation and leadership in Africa which took place yesterday at @HarvardBizGov. I had to field tough questions about continuity from a well-informed and diverse audience.
Prior to the conversation, I had delivered a presentation themed “From First Office to Lasting Impact: Industrialisation, Leadership, and the Discipline of Continuity”. Read my full presentation here https://t.co/bGe8XBdwxf

Yesterday, on the sidelines of the Harvard Ministerial Leadership Forum, we met with Jamie Cooper, founding Chair and President of Big Win Philanthropy, a charitable foundation which partners with African leaders to transform the lives of children and young people.
In Oyo State, Big Win Philanthropy is interested in tourism specifically the creative industry and its potential to create jobs for young people. They are also interested in urban renewal supporting the pre-construction phase of the 110 km Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road project development corridor as well as galvanising investors for it.
I’m happy to report that the Oyo State Government is the first sub national they have engaged and they plan to use this as entry point to engage more sub national governments.

Notes from the conversation with H.E. Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State at @Harvard on development and succession plan.

With over a year to the end of his tenure and 2027 elections approaching, Governor Seyi Makinde spoke with clarity on leadership, governance, and Nigeria’s future at the @Kennedy_School discussion on Industrialization and Leadership in Africa.

He reminded us that “industrialization rises or falls on leadership,” but more importantly, that “we need strong institutions and not strong men.” In his words, governance must be about ‘institutions more than an individual”, and he desires the next person to succeed him to be “loyal to the state and the people of Oyo state, not to individuals or an individual”.

Reflecting on his personal background, he shared how his mum was once a telephone operator in the same Government House where he now serves as Governor; a story grounding his belief that “education is key” and must not remain solely in the purview of the Federal Government for it to develop in Nigeria.

On 2027 elections and politics, he believes “opposition is the way to go,”, and he is open to working across divides, and even “open to Presidency if the opportunity opens up.” He reflects on the mistake he made in 2023. And states that if he were President, he knows what to do.

On infrastructure development, he also admitted, with hindsight, “I would have borrowed more to do sustainable projects, if I had I known the Federal Government would devalue the Naira this far,” underscoring the trade-offs in development financing and lack of funding for many African countries.

He called for making the environment conducive for diaspora return, argued that he does not agree with the current government tax efforts, and that tax meant for states should not be centralized, and emphasized that federal and state governments must have clearly coordinated, not conflicting responsibilities.

Looking ahead, he pointed to continuity: major infrastructure like the circular road, expected to reach completion milestones soon, and future plans under the Omituntun agenda, including Ilu Titun as a “virgin land” for new development, with housing for middle-income earners and land-swap infrastructure.

Above all, one line stayed with me:“Confidence is a kind of infrastructure.”. A leader is dealer in hope.

In picture: Governor H.E. @seyimakinde, and the astute @Dr @akande_debo DBA CMGR FCMI.

@PrinceOgbonna_ Hon Bimbo Adekanmbi's journey reflects not politics, but performance trusted across administrations of Gov Ajimobi & Gov Makinde, focused on development, loyalty to Oyo State and committed to delivering results that truly matter.
