From Vision to Action: Why Barr Akeem Agbaje Represents the Leadership Oyo State Needs


The gubernatorial seat in Oyo State is far more than a political title; it is a sacred trust. It demands not only the ability to lead, but also the courage to serve selflessly, the wisdom to unite people across divides, and the integrity to protect the public good. The ideal governor must deeply understand the complex challenges across the state and have both the character and competence to bring about meaningful, lasting development.


Barr. Akeem Agbaje stands out as a leader of substance, principled, courageous, and deeply committed to justice, equity, and good governance. Over the years, he has proven himself as a man who leads with purpose, speaks with conviction, and acts with compassion. With his strong legal background, decades of public engagement, and keen understanding of Oyo State’s socio-economic terrain, Barrister Agbaje is well-positioned to make people-centered decisions that will uplift all zones of the state.


“Every local government in Oyo State holds untapped potential — what we need is a leader who sees development as a right, not a privilege.”


As someone from Iseyin in Oke Ogun who has lived most of his life in Ibadan, I can boldly say: what truly matters in leadership is not where you come from, but what you bring to the table. Oyo State deserves a governor whose priority is not region, tribe, or party loyalty, but progress for all. From Ibadan to Oyo, Ogbomoso to Oke Ogun, and Ibarapa to every remote ward, Barrister Akeem Agbaje has shown the leadership qualities we need: fairness, competence, and a deep desire to develop every part of this state.


Since 1996, I’ve traversed every corner of Oyo State — I’ve seen communities in need, roads in disrepair, clinics without doctors, schools lacking teachers, and hardworking youth without access to opportunities. But I’ve also seen potential — and I know that with the right leadership, that potential can become prosperity.


Barr. Akeem Agbaje understands this. His plans are not mere promises, they are rooted in experience and shaped by compassion. He envisions an Oyo State with:


Accessible and durable roads linking rural and urban communities


Functional healthcare centers in every local government


Potable water through sustainable water projects


Well-equipped schools with a focus on quality education


Youth empowerment programs in entrepreneurship, tech, and agriculture


Improved security architecture to safeguard lives and property


“True leadership is not about where you come from, but about how far you’re willing to go to transform the lives of those you serve.”

*TESLIM FOLARIN IS A WRONG AND A BAD CHOICE TO LEAD OUR RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE IN OYO STATE APC

Image
When the cause of a problem and division in the party claims to have been saddled with the responsibility of reconciliation in out party, it leads to predictable failed attempt and would only compound the crisis. As a critical part of those who created the problem in the first place, claiming  to want to reconcile raises a lot of red flags, such as biased decision-making, lack of trust, vendetta, and ultimately, superficial solutions or conclusions.  Teslim Folarin is naturally bereaved of transparency and integrity, being the progenitor of our party division right from when he joined the party; he is a complete misfit, a square peg in a round hole, and a wrong choice to lead a holistic and meaningful reconciliatory move for the party. His track record loudly speaks of dishonesty and tricksterish attributes that run far too deep to change.  There is no where in the world where one of the main creators would be entrused with resolving the crisis he created in a private mee...
