I’m most qualified to govern Oyo, Teslim Folarin declares

By Richard Thomas Ibadan

The senator representing Oyo Central Senatorial District, Teslim Folarin, says he is the most qualified to govern Oyo State going by his political antecedents and experience, especially as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Folarin stated this at the formal declaration ceremony of his interest to run for the office of the governor in the forthcoming election at the party’s secretariat, Oke Ado, Ibadan.

He charged members to remain focused and united to enable them strategically win and return the party to power after the polls.

According to Folarin, the people of the state were yet to enjoy real dividends of democracy due to lack of experience on the part of the incumbent governor of the state.

“As  an experienced politician, I am most qualified to govern Oyo State. Governance is not by being wealthy, it is about high level of experience to put a round peg in a round hole.

“I am well prepared to offer the people of the state  a new lease of life if given the mandate as governor of the state come 2023,” he said.

Addressing journalists at the event, Chairman, Oyo Central Senatorial District of APC, Dr Oyebamiji Joshua described Senator Folarin’s declaration as sign of the party’s victory in the forthcoming elections.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the party in Oyo State, Isaac Omodewu, assured members that APC will return to power in the state in 2023, urging them to continue to show commitment to the progress of the party.
