On Saturday, March 11, 2023, Teslim Folarin, the APC’s candidate for governor in Oyo State, received the endorsement of about 190,000 PDP members.
On Wednesday, the PDP Vanguard platform’s supporters announced this in a statement posted to their official Twitter account @pdpvanguard.
Every eligible voter in Oyo State must exercise their right to vote, according to the statement.
“Folarin is the solution,” I said. “The significance of this cannot be overstated, as every single vote counts and can significantly alter the result of the election.”
Yekeen Olaniyi, Folarin’s media assistant, welcomed the development in a statement on Thursday and urged other opposition parties to follow the PDP Vanguard by teaming up with him to free the state from the rule of Governor Seyi Makinde.
He said, “Oyo State’s security system has shamefully deteriorated from a mountaintop of excellence during “Operation Burst” to a despicable gutter of security deterioration such that the residents of the state now live in palpable fear and tension.”
