Oyo Speaker, Debo Ogundoyin, Gets More Ambitious

“Great achievements are born from audacious dreams combined with unwavering perse­verance,’’ so says a quote by an unknown author.

The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, has proven this quote right. As in the past, he has dared where many of his age-mates fear to tread and come out triumphantly.

That the son of the late multimillionaire businessman, Femi Ogundoyin, has continued to show that he was born a leader is an understatement, the 36-year-old politician has proven beyond doubt his leadership quality. Perhaps, this has given him more audacity and courage to dream bigger. 

Society Watch gathered that the speaker is rumoured to be eyeing the governorship position in 2027. Although our source revealed that the ambition is still being discussed in whispers and hushed tones across the state.

Sources revealed that he is banking on his close rapport with the incumbent governor, Seyi Makinde and other influential figures in the state to turn his dream into reality.

While some believe that it is too early for political calculation, as the governor has just spent six months out of his four years, others believe that any serious-minded politician wouldn’t waste time in perfecting his aspiration. Also, some political watchers in the state say that he has lots of Herculean tasks to surmount for his ambition.

Our source hinted that achieving his heart desire would not come that easy, as there is the likelihood that other top political gladiators, such as the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, and the boss of the  Federal Inland Revenue Service, Zaccheus Adedeji, would want to be great obstacles to his ambition.
