All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Oyo State, Sen. Teslim Folarin, has said the presidential candidate of his party, Bola Tinubu, will win 80 per cent votes in the state come February 25.
Folarin, who stated this during a special edition of the Guest Platform of Oyo State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists at Mokola, Ibadan, described Tinubu’s emergence as the icing on the cake for APC in Oyo.
Folarin said: “It is a wise decision to market Tinubu instead of myself. If Tinubu makes it, I know it is over. His emergence is the icing on the cake. When you have him, you are going to use him. On the fallout of the APC primaries, leading to the exit of Chief Adebayo Adelabu and others, Folarin said there was no primary election that people would not complain about.Speaking on security challenges in the state, Folarin vowed to have minus zero tolerance for insecurity, promising to disband the state’s Park Management System , saying the body was not known to the law.
“The stage-sponsored thugs will be rid of the state. You make an ex-convict head of PMS. PMS is alien to the law. That will go,” he said.
