In a significant milestone ahead of the 2027 Oyo State governorship election, Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK), a prominent aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has received the prestigious Political Personality of the Year Award from Melody 100.7FM, Ibadan. The award, presented during the station’s one-year anniversary celebration, is a testament to AKK’s growing influence and people-centred leadership philosophy.
In his acceptance speech, Dr. Kareem dedicated the honour to the people of Oyo State, promising to bring about transformative change through inclusive governance and sustainable development. He outlined key pillars of his development agenda, including the establishment of industrial parks in each senatorial district to accelerate industrialisation, stimulate local production, and create massive employment opportunities.
According to Kolapo Kareem, this initiative, combined with a comprehensive agricultural reform programme, will create over 100,000 jobs within the first two years of his administration. He reaffirmed his commitment to boosting agricultural productivity through modern machinery, targeted incentives for farmers, and structured support systems to ensure food security and improve rural livelihoods.
On security, Dr. Kolapo Kareem reiterated his resolve to deploy a modern, intelligence-driven security architecture, including surveillance cameras and technology-enabled policing, to safeguard lives and property across the state. He emphasized that education remains the cornerstone of his vision for Oyo State, promising free and quality education for every child, irrespective of background or financial status.
Dr. Kolapo Kareem’s education policy draws inspiration from proven Western models, including parental incentives linked to school enrolment, which have increased access and reduced dropout rates. He also unveiled plans to introduce interest-free loans for small and medium-scale businesses, targeting traders, artisans, and young entrepreneurs, while ensuring prudent financial management and transparent governance.
The APC gubernatorial aspirant noted that these initiatives are comprehensively captured in his policy blueprint, “Our Realistic Tomorrow,” which presents a practical roadmap for repositioning Oyo State through inclusive governance and sustainable development. He expressed gratitude to Melody 100.7FM for the award, describing it as a strong motivation to deepen his service to society and humanity.
The award ceremony provided an opportunity for AKK to make a financial donation to support Melody 100.7FM, reinforcing his commitment to leadership that listens, gives back, and stands firmly with the people. He reassured the station of his unwavering commitment to building an Oyo State where opportunity is equal, hope is restored, and the future is secured for all.
Dr. Kolapo Kareem’s emergence as a top contender in the 2027 governorship election has generated significant interest among Oyo State residents, who are eager to see his vision for the state’s future. As the APC gubernatorial aspirant continues to crise-tissue his campaign, his message of inclusive governance, sustainable development, and people-centred leadership is resonating with many.
The success of AKK’s agenda, however, depends on his ability to connect with the people and address the pressing challenges facing Oyo State, including unemployment, insecurity, and poor infrastructure. If he succeeds in doing so, he may well emerge as the next governor of Oyo State.
As the political landscape in Oyo State continues to evolve, Dr. Kolapo Adewale Kareem is a force to be reckoned with in the 2027 governorship election. With his visionary agenda and people-centred leadership philosophy, he is poised to bring about transformative change to the state.
