By; BAYO AKAMO, Ibadan
The All Progressives Congress, (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin on Tuesday, cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in the state to stop its on going campaign of calumny against him
Senator Folarin in a statement in Ibadan by his media aide, Com. YSO Olaniyi disclosed that PDP Media centre in Oyo state is alleging that he would bring back Seriki Fulani to Ibarapa zone and also take away LAUTECH campus from Iseyin town if elected as governor of the state
The APC governorship candidate asked the people of Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun areas of Oyo state “to disregard the fake news being circulated by the PDP.
“My attention has been drawn to a poster designed and printed by PDP Media Centre with the caption “Folarin To Bring Back Seriki Fulani to Ibarapa”. This is fake news from the pit of hell of the outgoing government in Oyo State”, he
Senator Folarin added, ” The picture in question was taken during my peace-keeping engagements with Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani leaders from the Ibarapa zone. During the visit, I engaged the late Asigangan of Igangan and other stakeholders, and also supported the community. Similarly, I engaged Hausa-Fulani on the need to peacefully co-exist with host communities across the 33 LGAs”.
“In the same vein, the PDP Media Centre is spreading fake news that the APC administration will abolish the LAUTECH campus in Iseyin. This is another propaganda taken too far. LAUTECH Ogbomoso belongs to every zone of Oyo State.
” Therefore, my good people of Iseyin and Ibarapa zone should be rest assured that the Faculty of Agriculture in Iseyin and the Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology, Igboora (OYSCATECH) will play big roles in our agriculture revolution agenda”.
The APC governorship candidate stressed ” as Executive Governor of Oyo State (when elected), I’ll be fair to all zones of Oyo State. No zone will be marginalised in terms of developments in all sectors of the economy. I’ll run an all-inclusive government with fear of God”
“To Governor Makinde and his purveyors of fake news, I will not succumb to your diversionary tactics in my quest to become the governor of Oyo State”.
