The Weight of Leadership: Governor Seyi Makinde on My Mind || O. T. Alphonso Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide  Leadership is often admired from a distance, painted in the bright colors of prestige, power, and public admiration. We see the convoys, the sirens, the accolades, the grandeur of high office, and it’s easy to be swept away by the glamor of it all. But beneath the surface lies a sobering reality: leadership is not a parade; it is a burden; one that tests the mind, the body, and the soul. Too often, we focus on the spectacle and ignore the sacrifice. We overlook the immense responsibility that comes with leading millions. People of different ethnicities, religions, cultures, and expectations. Decisions made at the top ripple across lives, communities, and generations. True leadership demands more than vision; it demands restraint, empathy, courage, and, above all, sacrifice. I find myself reflecting on these things watching Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo ...

An Open Letter || "Conduct our Constituency By-Election, We are being shortchanged" - Oyo Governor's S.A on Ibadan North Federal Constituency cries out to INEC, Presidency Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide   As the Special Assistant to the Oyo State Governor on Ibadan North Federal Constituency, I am compelled to address the prolonged vacancy in our representation at the National Assembly's Green Chamber.
