Governor Seyi Makinde has called on Nigerians to emulate the ideals of the former Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, including federalism and multi-party democracy.
Makinde made this known at the 2026 Obafemi Awolowo Memorial Lecture organised by the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation in Ikenne, Ogun State.
The theme of the lecture was “Politics as Future-Making: Awolowo and Leadership as Theory of Action”.
He pointed out, “The theme is so relevant at this time with the 2027 elections around the corner, but our focus as a country if we want to make progress is to think about the next generation, not just the next election.
