City Talk With EGALITARIAN: Same Man, Different Picture, Different Thought — A Portrait of a Workaholic Governor Makinde

In an era where political leadership is often measured by rhetoric rather than results, Engr. Seyi Makinde stands out as a rare exception. The phrase “Same Man, Different Picture, Different Thought” perfectly captures the essence of this workaholic Governor. While the face may be familiar to the people of Oyo State, each project, each policy, and each initiative reveals a new dimension of his leadership — a new thought aimed at progress and transformation.
Makinde’s leadership style is anchored in action. From infrastructural revamps to education reforms, from health interventions to economic empowerment programs, his administration has demonstrated consistency in purpose. Yet, each endeavor carries a distinct approach, reflecting careful thought, planning, and responsiveness to the evolving needs of the people.

What is particularly striking is his work ethic. Makinde is not content with symbolic gestures or political theater. He immerses himself in the intricacies of governance, often visiting project sites, engaging stakeholders, and personally ensuring that plans translate into tangible results. It is this tireless dedication that sets him apart — a governor who does not rest until he delivers, a leader who transforms ideas into reality.

Critics may argue that no leader is flawless, and certainly, challenges abound. Yet, even his detractors cannot deny the consistency of his vision or the energy he brings to the office.
Every “different picture” is evidence of his commitment to evolving solutions, and every “different thought” underscores a proactive mindset determined to move Oyo State forward.
In a time when leadership fatigue and political complacency are common, Makinde’s example is a reminder of what it means to govern with purpose, passion, and perseverance. His work ethic is not just a personal trait; it is a signal to the people that governance is not about slogans, but about sustained effort and meaningful results.
