The PDP chieftain described Governor Makinde as a courageous, visionary, and compassionate leader whose style of governance has earned him admiration beyond the Southwest region.

Ewenla added that regardless of political ambitions or future contests, he remains committed to supporting visionary leadership, good governance, and policies that prioritize the welfare and development of the people.

He maintained that leadership should be centered on service, competence, accountability, and development, qualities he said Governor Makinde has consistently demonstrated in office.
