Oyo guber: Tinubu is not responsible for my defeat — Folarin

Soji Ajibola

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo, Senator Teslim Folarin has absolved the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the blame of being responsible for abysmal performance of the candidates in the last Saturday’s Governorship/ House of Assembly election in the state.

Folarin was quoted in a personally signed statement as distancing himself from a trending video blaming Tinubu for his defeat.

It reads, “My attention has been drawn to a trending 2:04 mins video, blaming Mr President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC chieftains for the outcome of Saturday, March 18th governorship and the house of Assembly elections in Oyo.

“I strongly dissociate myself from the trending video. It was produced by my sworn enemies with the sole intention to drive wedges in my relationships with our highly revered leader Asiwaju and other party stakeholders.

“I reiterate it is Only God That Gives and Takes Power.”
