“...a time to question, to refine, and to renew my commitment to the people I seek to lead...” ~ AKK 2027.
Dr Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK) is a gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State in 2027.
The beautiful crescent moon ushers in the sacred month of Ramadan, a beautiful and bountiful month, - I extend my heartfelt greetings, I say Ramadan Mubarak to the Muslim faithful across Oyo State and beyond. This season is not merely a ritual of fasting, but a profound invitation to pause, reflect, and recalibrate our inner compass. Our world can often be driven by haste and noise, but Ramadan exist as a bold counterpoint—a call to embrace stillness, to sift through the clutter of our lives, and to rediscover what truly matters. For me, as an aspirant to serve Oyo State, this month resonates as a mirror to my own journey: a time to question, to refine, and to renew my commitment to the people I seek to lead.
To the resilient people of Oyo State, Ramadan is more than a personal endeavour—it is a collective journey laced with threads of discipline, empathy, and shared purpose. I see in this month a reflection of our potential as a people and community: the ability to rise above fleeting desires and petty divisions, to build a society that thrives on mutual respect and bold ambition. As you break your fast each evening, surrounded by family, friends and neighbours, I urge everyone to be reminded of the strength that lies in our unity—a strength I dream of harnessing to build an Oyo State where every dream is given wings. This is not a season for complacency, but for imagining what we can achieve together when our spirits are aligned.
Ramadan, in its essence, is a rebellion against excess—a deliberate step back from the materialism that often blinds us to the struggles of others. In Oyo State, where the sun beats down on both the farmer’s field and the city’s always 'rosy' markets, I urge us to let this month sharpen our gaze toward those who toil unseen. Leadership, like fasting, demands sacrifice; it requires us to feel the hunger of others, not just our own. My vision for Oyo is not built on promises of grandeur, but on a pledge to listen, to understand, and to act with the same intentionality that Ramadan teaches—and to ensure that progress lifts the forgotten as much as the favoured.
This month also challenges us to confront the shadows within ourselves—our doubts, our fears, our inconsistencies. Personally, beyond being the First Fakar-Soliheen of Oyo State, I find in Ramadan a call to authenticity, a demand to align my words with my deeds. To the Muslim faithful of Oyo State, your devotion inspires me. Truly. Your quiet resolve as you pray through the night, your generosity as you share what little you may have—these are the embers of a better future. I ask you to see in this season not just a personal triumph, but a spark for the transformation of our state: a rejection of mediocrity, a refusal to settle for less than we deserve.
My people, Ramadan unfolds before us, let us hold fast to its deeper promise—not merely the end of hunger at sunset, but the birth of a hunger for justice, for knowledge, for a society that reflects our highest ideals. Ramadan Mubarak, my dear people of Oyo State. May this month be a lantern in our hands, that illuminates the path toward a state where every citizen stands tall, where our diversity is our strength, and where leadership is not a privilege but a responsibility. I stand with you, not as a bystander, but as one who seeks to walk this road alongside you, guided by the same light of purpose that shines through this sacred time. May Allah accept it from us. Aameen.
