2027: Oyo State Guber Hopeful, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK) at the Progressive Youth Ambassadors PYA South West Summit in Lagos Ikoyi today 22nd of Jan 2026, presented His Speech as the event Chairman.

It is sacrosanct that we all must recall the roots of our democracy. Nigeria’s democratic experiment began in the colonial era with limited legislative councils in the 1920s, but it was the independence in 1960 that marked our first republic, a period of parliamentary governance marred by ethnic tensions and ending in military intervention in 1966.

This approach has resulted in a stronger and more inclusive party, where loyalty is earned through transparent leadership and a commitment to progress.

Oyo 2027: “We Cannot Think Otherwise — Our Future Depends on It” — Oyo APC Guber Hopeful, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK).

To build a truly patriotic nation, we must move beyond rhetoric and embrace practical steps that strengthen our bonds. This means governments, especially at the subnationals, investing in education that teaches civic responsibility from a young age, promoting economic policies that reduce inequalities fueling discontent, and encouraging leaders who prioritises national interest over parochial gains. Insecurity thrives where division festers, but a conscious citizenry—alert, cooperative, and committed—can starve it of oxygen.

Oyo 2027: I Hear You, My People — I Will Be Home Soon ~ Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK).

When I became more aware of the realities facing our people - the low level of good governance that has layered Oyo State in recent times - I could not ignore the need for change. I just could not. I began to think strategically about what could be done and, more importantly, how it could be achieved. To bring about anything substantial and meaningful, a lot of realistic mapping out must be put into place, with clear plans that account for the state's unique needs and resources. This is not about quick fixes but about building systems that will endure decades and generations, drawing from lessons learned in my own experiences and the stories I have heard from the good people of Oyo state and its residents. It is this deliberate approach that drives my aspiration to lead, as well ensure that every step is measured, calculated, and aimed at delivering real improvements for our people.
