OYO STATE'S ASPIRANT: Folarin campaigns at polling unit, doles out money
There was commotion at Ward 5, Ona Ara Local
Government Area of Oyo State, on Saturday when
the Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate in the state, Teslim Folarin, publicly
doled out money to his party supporters at his
polling unit.
The PDP governorship candidate defied the rules
when he openly shouted ‘Te sibe'(print it there), a
popular campaign slogan, urging people to vote
for him.
One of the youths, who grabbed the money from
Folarin, tried to run away, but was soon held by
the angry crowd.
Those on the queue waiting to vote began to
scramble for their share of the money.
The commotion, which lasted for over 20 minutes,
saw the youths squeezing one another’s clothes
while those, who managed to grab a few notes,
received blows from others.
Police deployed in the unit watched as the youths
tackled themselves in the brawl.
Folarin, who cast his votes at St. John’s Primary
School, hosting two polling units at about 3pm,
had addressed journalists before voting.
He came in company with his wife, Angela.
He told journalists that he was not satisfied with
the performance of the card reader.
He said,”The card reader is very slow in
accrediting and verifying voters’ identity.This was
why we kicked against it earlier. Although, I was
not delayed,reports from other parts of th state
are not commendable.”
He said the All Progressives Congress had failed to
deliver good governance to the masses.
Folarin predicted a landslide victory for President
Goodluck Jonathan,saying he was impressed with
the large turnout of voters, which he said showed
people desperately wanted change in the state.
