“On my next political Ambition, I am still consulting for good” Says Makinde.
A former house of representatives Ife Federal constituency, Honorable Rotimi Makinde, has spoken on the insinuation in some quarters that he might not be contesting in 2018 election.
Makinde said I recognized the fact that I am a child of destiny, i have absolute confidence in the power of my creator, the love of my state, my constituency, communities and its environs remain paramount in the concrete part of my heart. I have been so privileged, i have seen the enormous advantage of being a ranking person in politics. My records and the lessons so far after my past electoral misfortune and experience shall guide me in taking appropriate decision on my next step in politics. In my own view, we must bury our personal ambition for now and collectively work to ensure we produce the best candidate to win the state for us as a party.
He dropped this hint during a visitation to pay condolence visitation to the family of Late Chief Gunju Adesakin in osun state, last Sunday.
He said, “Nothing can be farther from the truth. It is laughable to think that I will abandon my people at a time when the chance of victory is brightest.
“Let me assure you all that I remain resolved on this course and will pursue it till I return back to government to deliver the dividends of democracy to my people in my usual style.”
The member of the judiciary commission in Osun State urged the people of the state to discountenance the rumour, saying the season of innuendos had begun since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had released timetable for the elections.
He promised his kinsmen of his determination to win the forthcoming election and promised to address challenges confronting local communities.
Very Soon i will launch Reconnect 2019 and my people shall see the need for them to offer me to serve as real and not borne out of desperation but to do only those things that will continue from where i was stopped by those who have realized their unyielding desperation to change me.
“The desire to address the challenges in our local communities and towns are the very reasons why I am still in the race and by the will of God and the support of all of ile ife, modakeke and environment citizens, I will make life more abundant for all as the chief servant of the state,” he added.
Makinde also appealed to people of his constituents to shun money politics as 2018 general elections draw nearer.
“I appeal to our people especially the youth cadres not to look at what they will gain immediately from other politicians for now. The growth of our community should be paramount to us,” he said.

Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.

One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.
Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.
From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.
This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

VP Shettima Set to Lead Delegation to Zamfara as Governor Dauda Lawal Formally Joins APC
VP Shettima Set to Lead Delegation to Zamfara as Governor Dauda Lawal Formally Joins APC
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.
Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.
“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.
The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.
Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
All eyes are now on Gusau as the ruling party prepares for a high-profile political gathering expected to further consolidate its influence in Zamfara State.
