In a climate where politicians are seen as more interested in seeking power for personal aggrandizement, Oydele Hakeem Alao has managed to portray itself as a rare species, which is committed to its party, the congress of all progressives (APC) and its success in the elections.
Since the last general elections in the State of Pacesetter in 2023, the candidate for Governor APC, although it is not a oral part of the party, has done more than enough to put the administration of the Democratic Party of the Peoples (PDP) on their fingers through constructive criticisms and an objective evaluation of official policies and actions with the facts.
In fact, it has brought a purpose to the opposition and in the process to turn it into a clear voice for the masses that have the hope that their time will soon make a difference in the state.
AAO, as APC firm member, has the registration of regularly establishing administration to improve people's lives. The press releases of their media office constantly declared that people deserve an administration that puts their interest first.
For example, in an open letter to the authorities, he recalled that Governor Seyi Makinde was at the forefront of those who maintained the administration of the deceased Governor Abiola Ajimobi on the fingers of his feet. He took the administration of Ajimobi in a series of capital contracts granted by the Government and the need for transparency and due diligence.
Other launches that Alao not only made sure to be in printed and social networks, but also broadcast in the main radio stations in the various areas of the state, are those in which the administration of the Governor Makinde assigns about the activities of its administration in different sectors.
Similarly, Irokoland's like this is always concerned about the need for the government to be internal to avoid an unnecessary debt load, conserve currencies and protect local industries. According to him, a growing debt load could endanger the future of the State. He argued that since the elimination of the oil subsidy by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the money that accumulates for the United States has tripled. “The people of the state of Oyo deserve a leadership that values transparency, prudence and genuine development,” Alao said in a press release recently about the state of the nation.
For the next general elections, the Oyo APC would have been out of political power in the state for eight years. I think we should have many lessons due to the intrigues and lack of commitment that led the party to the state of the opposition. We must cease our loins; Restore the needle and draw the graph correctly this time so that we can return to our winning forms.
We must plan, return to strategy and make sure that they are only those that the CAPs fit our first eleven, so to speak in the battle ahead. The contest ahead is not for the volubles, but for the party members who have only paid their quotas and continued to demonstrate as consciousness, the backbone and the pillars of the APC oyo.

Bets have not only climbed; They have become more challenging and demanding. Therefore, the APC must be ready to make the right decisions in its deliberate and calculated movements to claim its legitimate place in the policy of 2027. The power is never served to the letter. You must work for it regularly and conscientiously.
With what Alao has continued to do to promote the APC and constantly touching the Government led by PDP in the state of Oyo to accelerate and do to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, the political compass of the State deserves to be transferred in its direction as one thing is certain: its political history is still developing.
