A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Akinjide Akinola has described the party’s 2023 gubernatorial candidate, Teslim Folarin as a leader par excellence.
Folarin, an Ibadan chief and three-term Senator, clocked 60 on Monday.
In his congratulatory message, Akinjide noted that Folarin’s widespread acceptance by people at the grassroots is a testament to the kind of politician he has been.
“You are a public servant par excellence and this is evident in the fact that even though you’ve served the people of your constituency for 12 years officially, you’ve also dedicated the rest of your adult life to them.
“Your birthday serves as a reflection, not for you, but for young politicians like me, on how we have a responsibility to serve our people, diligently and effectively,” Akinjide wrote.
He then prayed that the Almighty grants him all his heart desires.
