Just two days to the Governorship and state assemblies elections, about 50 political support groups have thrown their weight behind the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Oyo state, Senator Teslim Folarin.
Representatives of the support groups endorsed Senator Folarin at a news conference held in Ibadan.
Speaking on behalf of the groups, Director General, Teslim Folarin Ambassadors, Mr David Oluokun said the groups have agreed to become canvassers for the APC Governorship candidate.
Mr Oluokun explained that the developmental strides of Senator Folarin in his 12 years sojourn in the National Assembly, had prepared and made him the best choice to govern the state in the next dispensation.
“Next to UCH Ibadan is 100 bed state of the art mother and child specialist hospital, Abonde in Ona Ara, Primary Health Care Centers in Pade Akinyele LGA, Olode in Oluyole LGA, Araromi Market in Oyo East LGA.”
“On education he has facilitated 88 fully furnished classrooms in 3yrs with toilet, borehole and solar power. He has facilitated 17 state of the art ICT centers across Oyo central and University of Ibadan.”
He described the Oyo APC Governorship candidate as a compassionate, intelligent and a leader who listens to his followers.
“These are some of the giant stride of Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin as a Senator and we believe He’ll do more when he becomes the Governor of Oyo state by the grace of God because He’s a democrat, he listens, He’s compassionate, intelligent, very fit, has capacity to move Oyo State forward”.
Mr Oluokun therefore called on residents in the state not to be intimidated by anyone, but go out on Saturday to vote for Senator Folarin and other candidates of the party.
“Therefore we urge all residents of Oyo state to go out on the 18th day of March 2023 to vote for Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin because votes for Teslim are votes for better life in Oyo state.
“We at Teslim Folarin Ambassadors (TFA) and all other 50 support groups representatives across all the 33 local government in Oyo state stand with Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin and we duly endorse him as Governor of Oyo state”.
