The trio of Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo) will mark the first year anniversaries of their second terms in office on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. While both Sanwo-Olu and Abiodun were re-elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Makinde is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
One of the significant overviews of the first year anniversary of their second terms is how the governors have successfully maintained tranquility within their parties, considering the intrigues that characterised their re-elections during the 2023 general election. In spite of the fact that the trio enjoyed the power of incumbency in the last general polls, the political exigencies that surrounded their return both at the party level and during the March 18, 2023, gubernatorial polls, nearly defied the incumbency power. While some schools of thought said that for the trio to have contained opposition within their platforms in the last one year calls for commendations, others were of the view that had they failed to do that, governance would have suffered serious setbacks in their various states.
