Seyi Makinde has urged Bimbo Adekanbi, the governorship candidate of the Allied People’s Movement, APM, in the state, to avoid inheriting his political enemies if she wins in 2027.
Makinde advised Adekanbi to concentrate on creating her own leadership style.
The governor gave the advice during the party’s presidential/governorship primary election, where he encouraged Adekanbi to stay focused on governance, service delivery, and the continuation of development projects.
The governor stated that leadership is not perfect by nature, pointing out that people in public positions will inevitably make mistakes.
“Don’t inherit my enemies, chart your own path. I am only human and I make mistakes,” Makinde said.
He encouraged the governorship candidate to build on what his administration has already accomplished while working to deliver better results in governance for the people of the state.
“Make sure you build on anything we have done to help our people,” he said.
Makinde also spoke about his government’s development plans based on the “Omituntun” framework.
He expressed optimism about the state’s future progress.
“You have gone through my first term, Omituntun 1.0. You’ve gone through my second term, Omituntun 2.0.
“Omituntun 3.0 is starting up, and I promise you that Bimbo Adekanbi will do a great job for you,” he stated.
