In demistifying power and unveiling the phenomenon, former Governor Bisi Akande was embarrassingly simple and true to himself.

A former governor of Osun State and pioneer chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress , Chief Bisi Akande.

He is a most faithful person in his private and public lives. He rarely challenged his political associates. His deference to Bola Ige was unbelievable. He was definitely shattered by the murder of Bola Ige. He was convinced that the killers of the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice were known to government. He has a disdain for protocols in government, except they add to the quality of governance.

A serious politician that Bisi Akande is, he wasn’t familiar with brown envelopes to cultivate media practitioners. As governor of Osun State, he refused to indulge his wife as the First Lady and never allocated funds to that office. When he was accused of not being gender friendly in his administration, his response was that the office of the First Lady was not mentioned in Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, as amended.
