Oyo 2027: “We Cannot Continue to Pray for Change While Shying Away from the Work it Demands,” Declares APC Governorship Hopeful Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK).

Nations that have risen from hardship to prosperity did so not by prayer alone but by leaders who combined faith with rigorous planning, investing in education, infrastructure, and institutions that serve the people. In Nigeria, we possess the same capacity, but it requires a shift toward intentional governance. Governance where leaders commit to measurable outcomes, transparent processes, and inclusive development that leaves no community behind.

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.

I have travelled widely and worked in local and international environments. I have gained insights into leadership, administration, human relations, management, and interpersonal dynamics that apply across borders.

Oyo 2027: Reflections on My London Engagements — Advancing Paths for Oyo State’s Prosperity~by Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK).

Any nation aiming for advancement must find its base in the solid ideas and core principles of its leaders, and when those are sound, rational, balanced, forward-looking, and geared toward growth, the administrative system is equipped to prosper and expand. There is no doubt about that. These are the standards I presented during the visits.
