When the storm clouds gathered over Ondo’s political skyline and thunder threatened to shake the very foundation of governance, one man stood calmly in the eye of the tempest—firm, fearless, and unbending. Hon. Abiola Peter Makinde, PhD, popularly known as Oshaprapra, did not flinch when many retreated into silence. He chose truth over tactics and conviction over convenience.
At a time when support for Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa came with a price, Makinde paid it gladly. While others measured loyalty by popularity, he defined his by principle. His voice rang out when others whispered. His presence beside the embattled governor was not negotiated behind closed doors—it was loud, visible, and deliberate. That moment carved his name deeper into the hearts of the people, proving once again that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
A respected elder in Ondo West, Elder Bamidele Adeyemi, put it simply yet powerfully: “Leadership is not about convenience or applause. It is about showing up for the truth—even when it’s costly.” And that is exactly what Makinde has consistently done—not only in the political arena, but also in service delivery to his constituency.
His legislative journey has not been a parade of empty rhetoric. Rather, it has been a fruitful orchard bearing visible and lasting impact. In towns once forgotten, electricity now flickers to life. Roads that were once impassable are now lifelines of commerce and connection. Classrooms that echoed with decay now host the dreams of young learners in conducive environments. Health interventions have touched the poor and elderly, while skill acquisition programs have lifted youths and women out of economic shadows into self-reliance.
Beyond physical projects, Makinde’s voice in the National Assembly has been strong and steady. He has spoken for farmers, fought for the unemployed, and pushed for legislative reforms that protect the vulnerable. He understands that representation is not about occupying a seat, but using that seat as a platform to elevate those who placed their trust in him.
Now, as the momentum builds toward the 2027 elections, the people of Ondo Central are echoing a unified call—let Makinde move forward. Let him carry this tested commitment and proven performance to the Senate. His journey from federal lawmaker to senatorial aspirant is not ambition for ambition’s sake; it is a response to duty, a call to scale up service, and a mandate wrapped in trust.
The campaign theme “LetRebuildWithHAM” is not just a political slogan; it is a people-driven declaration of faith in a man who has never walked away from responsibility. It signals a desire for leadership that is bold in storms, compassionate in service, and principled in politics.
Makinde stands not as a man seeking power, but as a vessel prepared for greater purpose. He embodies the hope of a generation that yearns for substance over sound, delivery over drama, and integrity over interest. In him, Ondo Central sees not just a candidate, but a cause worth supporting.
The road to the Senate may be long, but with a man like Makinde, the destination promises to be fruitful. And as the people march forward with inspiration in their hearts and involvement in their hands, one truth remains unshaken: God is involved.
Be Inspired. Be Involved. God is Involved.
