Ibadan – In a comprehensive evaluation of the candidates with eyes on the governorship ticket of Oyo State under the banner of the All Progressives Congress Party (APC) for the 2027 elections, Barr Akeem Agbaje has been rated as “most promising, most humble” amongst the whole pack.
This is contained in a report made available to dejoymedia.online by a public commentator and political analyst, Mr Abayomi Oriowo who described the erudite lawyer, businessman and people-centric politician as the visionary leader Oyo State needs to attain her destined greatness.
Here is his analysis:
“My evaluation on the promising and humble Agbaje in Oyo State political settings and in comparison, is as follows without fear or favor:
SOUND LEADERSHIP SKILLS
He has the ability to inspire and motivate constituents, manage conflicts, and make tough decisions for the greater good of society. Strong leadership qualities, strategic thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability are qualities found in him, in navigating Oyo State complex political landscape.
GLARING INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY
He has demonstrated commitment to ethical behavior, honesty, and accountability. Voters look for politicians who prioritize the public’s interest over personal gain. Kudos to him, even in his private dealings. Moreover, whoever that is faithful in little can take cities. Faithfulness is an innate value.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
He is learned, effective in articulation of ideas, persuasive, humble and with the ability to connect with the grass root.
He is a politician very adept at public speaking, writing policy papers, and engaging in diplomatic discussions effortlessly.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
His self-awareness, empathy, and ability to manage emotions is, at present, unrivaled. He is endowed with the needful understanding and connecting with people on an emotional level, which is vital for building trust and support in our clime.
STRATEGIC THINKING
His ability to develop innovative solutions, spot opportunities, and make informed decisions can be verified and already attested to by many who are in the oppositions and within. He is a politician who is adaptable to changing circumstances and prioritizes continuous learning.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
As for active participation in local communities, grassroots movements, and volunteer works, he has demonstrated his versatilities unquestionably.
This demonstrates dedication, commitment, and ability to build strong relationships with constituents.
TECHNOLOGICAL COMPETENCE
Proficiency in digital platforms, social media, and other technologies to connect with voters, disseminate information, and engage in public discourse, is of utmost importance. The good news is that he is not short of all these as seen so far prior 2023 and consistently after.
POLICY KNOWLEDGE
Being a learned fellow, his strong understanding of public policy, governance, and the Nigerian political system is his edge over the rest, both within and without, not to even to talk about his ability to develop effective policies and engage in global affairs beyond his state in focus.
NETWORKING
He has been building and maintaining relationships with influential individuals, community leaders, and like-minded politicians, with accesses to resources, guidance, and support.
VISION AND PASSION
His clear vision for the future, passion for public service, and commitment to making positive changes in society is unprecedented and impressive, if allowed to display his contents. Package without content is a junk luggage.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
A solid educational foundation can provide necessary knowledge, skills, and credibility. Agbaje is not found wanting in this area, a Barrister at Law.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
His practical experience in politics, governance, and related fields are demonstrated in his ability to navigate complex political landscapes. Agbaje is indeed a tested hand from good pedigree.
PARTY AFFILIATION
Understanding of and commitment to political party’s values, principles, and policies are his proven loyalty and integrity compared to other political party travellers.
Ultimately, a promising political aspirant in Nigeria and most especially in Oyo State, must demonstrate a strong commitment to serving the public interest, building trust, and driving positive change where necessary.
With the candidacy of Agbaje, it is a one-stop-shop for all needs and wants, considering holistically, all these attributes that are readily exhibited in his quest to serve his people.
I am stating these without pretense or make up, therefore, looking else where becomes needless, wasteful and a deliberate practice of myopism.
I am not a political jober neither am I a sycophant nor an attention seeker. I do not know Agbaje one on one but I have met and interacted with those who are his friends, political associates, party members and enemies that abound.
Hence, my sincere conclusion having right peg for the right hole, without fear or favor. I have come, void of emotion and sentiment. Oyo State shall be great again,” he concluded.
