Folarin reconciles with Senators Soji Akanbi, Balogun

Ahead of February 25 general elections, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin, on Sunday, reconciled with two other political bigwigs in the state, Senators Ridwan Soji Akanbi and Kola Balogun.

Folarin had a closed-door meeting with Akanbi at his Jericho residence, where they all agreed to work together for the success of the party in the forthcoming elections.

Investigations further revealed that the APC governorship candidate also had a similar meeting with Balogun in his Ikolaba residence on Wednesday where they reached a compromise to work for the success of the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Folarin.

Folarin and some party chieftains parted away shortly after the outcome of the governorship and senatorial primaries that produced him and Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli as governorship and Oyo South Senatorial candidates respectively.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has declared his support for the gubernatorial ambition of Senator Folarin.

Dare, while featuring on a political programme in Ibadan, said he would team up with other party chieftains to ensure that APC wins all elections in the state.

”We have a better candidate in Oyo State. And I have no doubt in my mind that he would defeat the incumbent.
