After Makinde: Who Will Carry the Torch of Oyo’s Transformation? One of the questions that often occupies my solitude is this: Can Nigeria, can Oyo State, still produce another man like Engr. Abiodun Oluseyi (Saheed) Makinde, FNSE, on the ballot in 2027? If yes, then how will such a man be found? Who will identify him? At what time, stage, or circumstance will he emerge? These are the questions that come to mind whenever I reflect on Makinde’s unrelenting, hardworking spirit—a leader whose passion hovers over Oyo State, seeking to transform it into a haven of peace, growth, and prosperity. Many may not fully understand his semantics, methods, or style of leadership. From afar, they see only a fragment.
