Ajayi listed the qualities that stand out Al-Makura from other aspirants to the position as his humility, accessibility and commitment to duty.
Another thing she said the ex-governor has going for him is his knack for innovation, stressing that if the former governor is elected the national chairman of the ruling party, APC will no longer be lacking in initiatives

“I have also worked with him for six months during the merger of the legacy parties to form the APC and I saw humility personified. He is intelligent and a team worker. As a sitting governor then, he was very accessible and accommodating. He has a sincere feeling to make a better Nigeria. He is well experienced in the politics of Nigeria”, Omosefe Ajayi who is the immediate past CEO/executive director of Lagos International TradeFare Complex said.
She assured that as Al-Makura is one that loves innovation and brilliant people, he is sure to sorround himself with egg-heads that will assist him in making the party an envy of all in Africa.
Al-Makura according to her, exudes an enchanting simplicity that is easily noticeable, aside from his accommodating and pan-Nigerian nature
Ajayi who was also the former Kosofe Local Government Area party Chairman for defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), maintained that with the qualities highlighted, the former governor is the only candidate for the chairmanship position that has all it takes to further unite the party at this time.
She, however, regretted the happenings in the party at present saying “I don’t like what is happening around the convention but it will be resolved by God’s grace. The hardest part was when the merger was almost consummated, the same confusion came up but we surpassed it too. So I know definitely well that the convention will hold”.
