The Oyo State All Progressives Congress (APC) in North America has congratulated Senator Teslim Folarin on emerging as the governorship candidate of the party.
Folarin and others were elected candidates of the party at the primaries held recently.
Congratulating other candidates of the party, the APC group, in a statement signed by its chairman and secretary, Hon. Olalekan Sanni, and Mr. Niyi Adekola respectively, also commended all the other contestants that participated in the elections for demonstrating courage, patriotism, and exceptional spirit of sportsmanship throughout their campaigns.
The group also stressed the need for all patriotic stakeholders and members of the party to unite and ensure the victory of the party in the forthcoming elections, lamenting that the Seyi Makinde-led PDP government has not only destroyed the good governance it inherited but its emergence has in the last three years foisted the most reprehensible government upon the people of Oyo state.
The statement read, “We heartily congratulate Distinguished Senator Teslim Folarin on his nomination as the governorship candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other candidates for the 2023 general elections. No doubt, the present PDP administration is bereft of ideas to effectively manage our dear state.
“PDP has killed Oyo state, it has gotten everything wrong, and there is an institutional failure in every sector of the state’s economy. Look at the dilapidated state of infrastructures in the state, nothing is happening in our local governments – the grassroots. Everywhere is dirty. Honestly, nothing is working in Oyo State.
“Although, recent developments within the party make it a great concern for us that whenever the pendulum failed to swing in the direction of some of our aspirants, they leave the party for a ‘mushroom – party’ to pursue their mendacious frustrating aspirations. This is true, alien to progressivism ideology and philosophy, and must be discouraged
“But, for the benefit of all progressives for whom we strive to make society better, let us now come together as one big family and be focused to dislodge the Seyi Makinde -led PDP government who have destroyed our state and returned it to the inglorious era by winning the 2023 elections to restore Oyo’s pacesetting status.
“We are confident that our party will restore the once enjoyed security in the state, revive the collapsed economy, and bring back Oyo’s dignity and pacesetting glory where the sanctity of human lives of all citizens and residents will be respected. We will rescue Oyo State and resolve the self-inflicted security challenges caused by the PDP government”, the statement added.
