I, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK), paid a courtesy visit to the President-General of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), Barrister Chief Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole, as part of my deliberate and ongoing engagement with critical stakeholders in the collective quest to reposition Oyo State for sustainable growth and progressive governance.
 
During the visit, I personally expressed my deep appreciation for his exemplary leadership, patriotism, and unwavering commitment to the development of Ibadanland and Oyo State. I acknowledged his role in fostering unity among Ibadan indigenes and prayed for Allah’s continued guidance, good health, and greater strength as he serves our people.
 
I openly and sincerely shared my aspiration to serve as the Governor of Oyo State, driven by a lifelong passion for public service and a firm belief that our state deserves purposeful, inclusive, and visionary leadership. I spoke extensively about my broad local and international experience, which has shaped my understanding of governance, development, and people-centred leadership, and which clearly distinguishes my candidacy at this critical time.
 
I also presented and discussed my book, Our Realistic Tomorrow, a policy-driven document that contains my manifesto, strategic ideas, and practical solutions for addressing the challenges facing Oyo State. The book reflects my clear roadmap for economic development, youth empowerment, education, healthcare, security, and good governance.
 
In his response, the President-General of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), Barrister Chief Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole, warmly commended my genuine love and commitment to my town and state. He offered candid political counsel, urging me to intensify strategic engagement and hard work at the APC national level, noting that party decisions and ticket considerations are often shaped from the highest levels. He concluded by offering prayers and wishing me success in my political journey.
 
The visit concluded with a symbolic moment as photographs were taken to mark the engagement.
