Opinion: Who Is Next After Seyi Makinde? Let’s Brainstorm For Oyo State By Ismaila Ashipa

 

Are you from Oyo state, irrespective of your lgas. Even, if you were a non resident or in the diaspora, surely, you love your pacesetter state, Oyo. Therefore,
LET’S BRAINSTORM FOR OYO.

Without being biased, the present Executive Governor of Oyo state, His Excellency, Egnr Seyi Makinde has performed better in almost all known aspects of governance. Many unprecedented innovations with modern digital specs were bought into governance.

Thinking outside the common spheres with focus on delivery is the hallmark of GSM administration. Though the cost of good governance is geometrically in advance of IGR and federal subventions, Egnr Seyi has my high scores in the Management of the little resources available. How His Excellency does it, na hin sabi. But this Seyi guy is a great performer.

Very soon, may the good Lord spare Seyi’s life and ours, this our man with Midas touch would vacate the oval seat after the expiration of a successful 2nd term of Office.
Who would be next?

Forget the political parties.
Forget the accidental geographical place of birth.
Forget the religion the next would profess.
Forget his academics or whatever
so far he/she is Oyo State.

Who would be next.

Governance isn’t a drudgery: a menial, unskilled job. It isn’t for lazy minds.

It isn’t selling ice cream as the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi would want to say.
It is a life of abstinence and renunciation.

Of penance, fasting and prayers.
It demands total dedication with few relaxation, rigid discipline and abhors distractions and sentiments.
Governance is business: a very serious one.

LET’S BRAINSTORM FOR OYO STATE.
Who would be next.

May be I should set the ball rolling.
I hope for someone whose name and antecedents transcend politics, religions and tribes.

Let him belong to or freshly join any of the leading parties: APC/PDP..
A statesman who could be liken to the Late Bashorun Ibadan, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola MKO.

A personality of #OyoHope2027
LET’S BRAINSTORM.
Who would be next.

As I am typing this, my thoughts are floating; roaming and surfing the political and business spaces of Oyo state.

I may not be thinking rightly for now but I am contemplating a personality: a spontaneous thought. An all rounder successful individual. I doubt it if he knows me: possibly by name only.

Young, well loved, philanthropic, educated with ‘klin’ background. He has physically demonstrated in his private and personal capacity his love for the masses.
As a state Governor, this individual could do more and better.

But who would convince this person to vacate his quiet private life for public knowing that governance is a thankless venture. But if Egnr Seyi Makinde could quit his private background for public service and even succeed at it,
