Dear Mr Adebayo Adelabu,
Firstly let me console you for the loss of the gubernatorial election to your closest rival eng oluseyi makinde, may almighty Alhah give you the ability to bear the loss.
Secondly I will like to Congratulate you for a robust and a good campaign strategies that was roll out in oyo state during the election period.
You fought a good fight, you lost the battle not because you are a bad candidate but for two reason.
Firstly your political leader which is the outgoing governor, Base on his approach and several unguarded statement which turn so many people against him.
Secondly and the main reason why you lost is because of the humanitarian activities your opponent has been doing since he came back to nigeria.
Eng Seyi makinde had impacted directly or indirectly in people life, that's his what build a lot of confident and love people have for him, I believe you will agree with me that it's not the PDP that defeat you, it's the integrity of that man called seyi makinde.
I remember in 2000, when eng seyi makinde just came to the country newly, he build computer classroom for bishop Phillip acedemy as an old study of that school, the classroom was commission by late Lam Adesina then, by that time, I don't think he had started inspire to become the governor of the state.
Now election as come and gone, I see you as a young vibrant man that oyo state will need in future. I can see you holding a big position very soon in oyo state, to achieve this, don't act lick seasonal politician that always comes out few month to the election.
Start impacting in people life from now onward, 2023 isn't far, I hope to see you in high position serving our dear country.
Start building your political structure with LOVE and humanitarian, impact in people life.
Make your self accessible to people if you want to be a force to reckon with in oyo state politics in future.
The only way to achieved your ambition his your ability to build closeness to the grassroot from now.
In case you were been given appointment in abuja, please dnt become abuja Base politician, connect with your people at grassroot.
I wish you best of luck for your future ambition.

I actual prefer Adebayo Adelabu to win the election because of his CV that I read and perceived sympathy I have for his party but people choice must be respected.
My fear for seyi makinde is that, he may not be able to do much in term of infrastructure for the state due to the people surround him.
There may be free money everywhere within oyo state and less infrastructure.
We may likely witness another stomach infrastructure during seyi makinde administration, just like ekiti state during fayose regime
For now in oyo state, ajimobi as achieved a lot in term of infrastructure for the state. His problem is arrogant/bad mouth and unable to open the treasury of the state for bigger boys in the state.

He should start building his political career from now against 2023

Sincerely speaking I love dat adelabu Dan makinde but people will supercede anything...i think our people want stomach infrastructure more Dan d real infrastructure cos even ajimobi got bad mouth if dey are talking about oyo best governor in recent time ajimobi is I he is very hard working governor

Infrastructure,security well perfected under him...ley oyo people enjoy what they voted for we will b here in 4years time wen d same people will start cursing him

No b oyo people Ni

All d best for dem

Ajimobi perform excellently well in term of infrastructure development and relatevely peace in the state but yoruba in general knows how to read meaning to people statement, the man use to talk too much n he believed his above everybody as constituted authority couple with hungry politician that was unable to feed themselve during his term.
I doubt if makinde can achieve 1/4 of what ajimobi achieved in term of infrastructure but common man will enjoy him because he will surely roll out a lot of money to people with less visible infrastructure within the state.
I like makinde, I had met him in person in the past but I doubt is ability to do better than Adelabu.
Too much kindness cannt bring the desire development to a state
The only way he can achieve his if he can turn himself little away from those people that are parading themself has his supporter now because most of them are always after there pocket.

Is this a kinda joke. This Ajimobi guy is owing the state workers and pensioners money their salaries, allowances and entitlements and you're here yarning thrash. Ajimobi is born wicked and we were been warned back then but we didn't listen. Adelabu should go and queue, his thought was that he would ride on APC's back just as Ambode and Sanwo-Olu did but sorry..... This is Oyo state, not Lagos

Your comment is well noted,
You cannt be a good leader if you are not ready to step on tolls,
Ajimobi would have been able to manage the situation if he didn't add his bad mouth character to the game.
Makinde cabinet will be constituted and handpick by people like Ladoja, Lanleyin n co.
He cannt get technocrats in his goverment because they will tell him the story how they make him become governor.
Those people will mainly be after there pocket and people arround them first before thinking of any development for benefit of oyo state in general.
In the next two year, we will be hear n reasonable people will start complaining.

I really wonder how Seyi will do it. Oyo gets N2.1B monthly allocation while its wage bill is N5.2B monthly. This will soon increase, since minimum wage will be N30k.

Truly his owe people allowance n entitlement, I have so many relatives that was affected with this but believe me, if it were to be PDP that was ruling the state in the last 8year, durring the recession, the story may have been worst. Or they will pay pat of it n there will be no meaningful development in the state

Oyo people don't know wot ahead

Dem ladoja and lanlehin of a thing want to resurrect dia political career with Seyi on board cos with d look of thing d guy will b simple...i just hope dey wont b dictating every issues for him

But sir bookmark dis 2years dey will start cursing him

Oyo politics is very dynamic even d 2nd term ajimobi is using is just d crack and division in d pdp den

A single term will continue under him again

Makinde as started complaining few days ago, claiming that the outgoing government are trying to employ some civil servant through the back door, he said he willnt hesitate to sack them once he enter, who is fooling who? How can the outgoing government start employment just few days after election that shock them. Makinde his just preparing grand for possible sack of civil servant in the state.
I wish him all the best but I doubt his ability to do better than ajimobi.
With his soft mind, the state revenue generation will surely goes down during his regim which will make him more incapacitated to do less except hisnt willing to go allong with those people that surround him.

Bros forget recession, let the Federal Government place those serving the country on minimum wage and put mechanisms in place to block loopholes and see how the country will grow. What we need in this country are people with business ideas and creativity, ensuring all the sectors in the country are working from Mining to a sport, health, education, entertainment to agriculture not exempting IT. We are very good in paperwork but when it comes to practicalising, it becomes an issue

Makinde will outperform Ajimobi! You will see at the end of 4 yrs

Infrastructure and security ajimobi tried in those 2 u can't lie on dat only if you want to b sentiment loku

My brother, I agree with u but the problem of this country is that the economy have been runny on corruption in the past, changing it make things difficult for people, couple with wrong step the fedral goverment took at some point.
Below is a story of a civil servant to explain my point.

1. A young man works for one of the state ministries. His salary is 120K. He makes 15,000 everyday on this desk (N75k a week) engaging in corrupt practices. As a result, he spends the daily cash as he cares. Living large and far above his legitimate income.

2. He visits the local joint every evening and buys drinks for friends, and area boys. They hail him. He is married, but has two girlfriends. His "income" is enough to take care of them. The Asun seller at his favorite joint is happy, the joint owner is happy.

3. Everyone was benefiting from his "income". Friends, family, area boys, joint owner, Asun seller, girlfriends, wife and his church. Life was good.

4. Then suddenly the ministry implemented the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at the beginning of PMB administration. His extra "income" disappeared and he had to adjust to the reality of event and live within his real income. That wasn't easy.

5. Initially he reduced his daily visit to the joint to 3 days a week and stopped buying drinks for everyone. He reduced he plates of Asun. The Asun seller started to find it hard to sell a full goat each day and resorted to buy half.

6. The young man's girlfriends started to feel the heat too. No more iPhone 10. The joint owner noticed a drop in sales. The young man finally stopped visiting the joint after a month. The area boys started feeling his absence. The effect cascaded down.

7. The young man started spending more time at home with his wife and kids. The family had to readjust to the reality of the new normal. His hair stylist noticed the young man suddenly stopped tipping. He will even wait for his N200 change after haircut.

8. Things are different. Times are hard, they all cry. The young man is blaming Buhari, his wife is blaming Buhari, the area boys are blaming Buhari, the girlfriends are saying Buhari must go, the joint owner is saying Buhari killed the "economy"

9. The Asun seller is cursing Buhari, the hair stylist is insisting Buhari is too old to rule. This is the story of our nation where corruption fuels the "economy". Those who are not engaging in it are benefiting from it.

10. This tread is not about Buhari's achievement or failure, but rather about the "multiplier" effect of corruption and how we have built a system largely driven by corruption. It's about policy implication (good or bad). It's about the choices we have made.

Finally, the young man had to withdraw his kids from what he called expensive primary school his kids attend. He added:"what are they teaching them there sef " Obasanjo didn't go to a private school. I just laughed

My Take:
Most of the so called rich men and women in Nigeria before now were feeding fat on the populace, imaging a level 15 officer in a state ministry sponsoring two of his/her children's education in Europe but when TSA came to effect, free money dried up but Buhari was blamed for the inability to fund children in Europe! Awon ole jati -jati, ofan a je l'oju onile.

Ajimobi tried his best in terms of infrastructure and he's the best at that since inception of democracy in oyo state but he's wrong doing outweighs his better sides, that said. Oyo state needs a technocrats that will woo investors and also increase IGR of the state. Oyo workers loves Ladoja and prefers him any time simply because he pays salary on the 25th and also pays13th month, but till date you can't point to any tangible thing he did through out his tenure

Somee of those Ibadan traders who refused to rent a room and were sleeping inside a mosque for 20 years in my hood, also went to Ibadan to vote Omi tuntun.
We have told them that they will end up eating Omi tutu in Oyo state.
You can't give what you don't have, Ajimobi is not without fault but, se Ori bibe ni ogun Ori fifo?.

That's the problem, people preffer free money, moreso they also prefer to be a civil servant so that they close by 3pm or 4pm daily n weekend they have it for owanbe party.
The only achievement you can attached to Ladoja is prompt civil servant salary durring he is term. No form of any infrastructure.
It's durring APC regime from lagos we start witness concrete road project, formally they use block for drainage and do substandard roa[b][/b]

I see Adelabu loss as a blessing in future for him, this may not be the right time for him to enter because incoming government cannt do better than what ajimobi as achieve for now due to current economic in the country.
In couple of month, we will all understand it.
All the best for the incoming government n my prayer and advice for Adelabu is to start building is political structure from now.

PDP winning Oyo really pained these APC clowns sha ooooo

Olagbola45 agreeing with gbolah1.


Wetin we no go see for NL

Forget story , forget Adelabu cv ...he never spoke like a smart person from debates to campaigns .

DMerciful:
Makinde will outperform Ajimobi! You will see at the end of 4 yrs

Thank you. makinde will be best governor in oyo state after lam Adesina. ajimobi wasted billions of naira in beautification projects. most projects are located in ibadan. most projects are handled by lagos contractors at exhorbitant cost.in term of infrastructures, other part of oyo state is neglected. road to oke-ogun is terrible. makinde is an engineer,his deputy is an engineer. I am expecting massive road construction works at cheaper rate not at lagos rate. I am expecting reform in civil service but not witch-hunting of workers. lanlehin and Ali may want to give makinde problem. I think ladoja is agba oselu.he would protect makinde.he refused to dine and wine with tinubu in 2007. He would have performed better if not because of constant harassment and impeachment by adedibu who had backing of obj-fg. yes,makinde is not a typical politician. He is a technocrat and i am expecting him to perform beyond expectations.

Like are u for real, saying there is nothing tangible u can point to during Ladoja tenure, you are definitely not from Oyo state perhaps a poor student of history.

Go and find out about the model schools Ladoja built throughout Oyo state and then let's compare to the ones of APC regime if any

How many model school was he able to build? Can you show me number of standard road he was able to construct?
I know the model school along monatan, I blv he would have do better if not for adedibu problem then, the same people are the one surround themself with makinde now, which may slowdown is performance.
Why u see many APC governor using lagos contractor is because many indigenous contractor will only collect the money n do half of the job, thinking it's business as usual. That's why many PDP goverment have not successful, that doesn't mean APC are not embezzled money too

Since u know the model school along monatan u can go there and kindly ask the principal how many model schools did Ladoja build in Oyo State and while at it give us the location of the model school built by the APC?

I don't know anything about Adelabu other than he has the same name with the famous "penkelemessi" of those days.

Seyi Makinde has been contesting awhile now. This is his turn. I hope he can learn from the downfall of his predecessor, Mr. "Firunmu-je-jogi" aka "Constituted authority".

Don't look down on the people because most of them are artisans and traders.

One thing I like about Ajimobi though is the technical college he started. If the project comes to light it will probably be the best project ever given to the Oyo state people especially Ibadan indigenes as most of their kids don't go to the higher institution but learn craft and trade.

Having a technical college to help them professionalize that is just superb.

Mr Adelabu should make himself a worthy opposition in the next 4 years.

God bless the good people of Oyo state.
