PA Bisi Akande would turn 84 on January 16, 2023. Just as his role model, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Bisi Akande was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He struggled to attain greatness through dogged determination, self-discipline, hard work and providence.
His philosophy of power is what it can be used for to advance the interest of the majority. His politics could be described as a low profile one, as he prefers being loud on governance rather than politics. To him campaign for power grab are essentially deceitful and unethical. He would rather be meager with campaign promises rather than build castle in the air at campaign rallies. He is ever frank with voters. Elections are not a duel nor must elections be won at all cost.
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 the nation’s 1999 Constitution as amended.
