Oyo Guber Candidate, Teslim Folarin Removes Donated Transformer For Losing Election


The candidate of the Peoples' Democratic Party in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin has ordered the remover of a transformer donated as part of his corporate social responsibility for the Hausa community in Ibadan shortly after the result of the gubernatorial election was announced without his being declared the winner.

It was a shock for the Sabo community in Ibadan, Oyo State capital in the early hours of Sunday as they woke up in the morning only to see a Transformer donated to the community few days ago by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin, being carted away by some aides of the former Senate Leader.

The PDP governorship candidate who came fourth in the Oyo State Gubernatorial election had reportedly conceded defeat on Saturday night apparently having seen the signals that the incoming polls result did not favour him.

However, the alarm raised by members of the Sabo community on sighting those removing the Transformer in the early hours of Sunday did not move the perpetrators who eventually removed the transformer to an unknown place.

Members of the Sabo community instantly stormed the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji Ahmed Dahiru Zungeru where they expressed their worry, a development which compelled the Sarki to wade into the matter by calling on Folarins political associate within the community, Alhaji Bashiru Maiborno, for clarification.

We gathered that it was at this stage that Maiborno spiritedly made moves to effect the return of the transformer to Sabo community, but he was rebuffed as the community vowed not to take back the transformer from Senator Folarin.

Efforts by our correspondent to get Senator Folarins personal reaction on the development was futile as he could not be reached.

Maiborno however insisted that the transformer was removed with a view to keeping it in a safer place. Senator Folarin is a man of his words, Maiborno told us.
