GOV. MAKINDE'S TENDERNESS : A SERIOUS LITMUS TEST ON GSM’S LEADERSHIP CAPACITY — PASSED ON THE SPOT - HON. ABIODUN BABALOLA Ph.D.
When humans are faced with unexpected situations or tough questions, we all switch to our default mode — and that default often reveals who we truly are.
What seemed at first like an embarrassing moment became a turning point that showcased the true essence of my Boss, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde FNSE.
Sir, you didn’t just approve a wage adjustment; your default mode — EMPATHY — came alive on the spot. You restored hope, reaffirmed humanity, and reminded us all that governance with compassion is still possible.
Your swift and heartfelt response touched hearts far beyond Ogbomoso Land. It rekindled faiths across Oyo State that indeed, we have a Governor who have human face and feels the people’s pain and responds with fatherly understanding.
What could have embarrassed an average leader became a lift for Governor Abiodun Makinde. A true leader remains one at all times.
Give my Boss a lemon, and he’ll turn it into lemonade. Take him to a desert, and he’ll make it bloom.
No charisma or spiritual theatrics can ever replace capacity building. Like a footballer who keeps form through constant play, Governor Seyi Makinde has diligently built and refined his leadership skills over the years, that's why all the performances is possible. "Ko si Abuja, 'lorun ope" Performance responds to capacity.
That his Leadership commands global attention, he has been preparing, learning and practicing , just as David conquered bears and lions before facing Goliath.
Your leadership continues to inspire trust, love, and loyalty Sir.
May God strengthen you to keep leading with wisdom, empathy, and courage. Truly, Oyo State is blessed to have you.
