Presidential hopeful,under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,has implored the governorship candidate of the party in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin to pacify all the warring party members before the 2023 general elections.
The former Lagos governor, who was in Ibadan, on Thursday to meet Oyo delegates,said before 2023, Folarin must work, walk as well as appeal to leaders in the state to help him pacify to all aggrieved members so that the party can win next year’s general elections.
He urged Folarin and other party members at the venue to reconcile themselves ahead of the election, saying that he would come back on behalf of Folarin to talk to the aggrieved members on the need to shealth their sword.
He said:”You have to work, walk, even with touch light and lantern to appeal to leaders, women, youths and aggrieved members so that we can win governorship in 2023.After you have done that, I will come back to raise your hands up and campaign for you to emerge victorious. You will first come and meet me in Abuja and I will also invite all warring party members to appeal to them on your behalf”.
Speaking,Folarin recalled how as a 39-year old senator in 2003, Tinubu sent Musiliu Obanikoro, his then colleague to give him an envelope containing a land allocation paper.
He said he would remain grateful for what Tinubu did for him and promised to reciprocate that during the Presidential primary, saying Oyo delegates are for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
