” Since about three years now, Oyo State people have suffered severally from a government where institutional rigidity, pervasive insecurity, policy summersaults, monumental debt and inoperable economic ideas reign supreme”, he said.
Senator Folarin added, ” as Nigerian national challenges persist, our pacesetter state is further embroiled in pervasive deprivations worsened by acute lack of vision to mitigate the effect of the crisis.Despite being blessed by providence with surplus human and capital resources, our people are made to live their lives, feed themselves and their families under severe hardship and excruciating frustrations occasioned by receding opportunities”.
” With my robust administrative experience, unimpeded courage and strength of conviction, I am poised to invest in policies that will drive economic development, provide a sea of opportunities for the teeming populace, improve healthcare, agriculture, education and infrastructure so that our state can be an investment hub and preferred destination in Nigeria”.
Assuring that ” all these will be clothed in human face by an administration that is people driven”, the Senator commended APC loyalists and members who graced the rally for matching the numerous complaints about the Makinde led government with actions”.
“The multitude of your presence at this declaration event can only be a pointer to your vote of no confidence in a political party and an administration that have jointly, severally and progressively taken our state backwards at the whims of the paddlers of our state’s boat.
“After the initial period of observation, the period when our people took their time to see whether this current administration held any hope for them, it was to their shock that all departments of governance in Oyo State began to kiss the canvass.
