PDP Governorship Candidate Removes Transformer Donated To Community After Losing Election
Category: Nigerian National News
It was a shock find for the Sabo community in Ibadan, Oyo State capital
in the early hours of Sunday as they woke up in the morning only to see a
Transformer donated to the community few days ago by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin,
being carted away by some aides of the former Senate Leader.
The
PDP governorship candidate who came fourth in the Oyo State
Gubernatorial election had reportedly conceded defeat on Saturday night
apparently having seen the signals that the incoming polls result did
not favour him.
However, the alarm raised by members of the Sabo
community on sighting those removing the Transformer in the early hours
of Sunday did not move the perpetrators who eventually removed the
Members of the Sabo community
instantly stormed the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji Ahmed Dahiru
Zungeru where they expressed their worry, a development which compelled
the Sarki to wade into the matter by calling on Folarin’s political
associate within the community, Alhaji Bashiru Maiborno, for
clarification.
Daily Trust gathered that it was at this stage
that Baiborno spiritedly made moves to effect the return of the
transformer to Sabo community, but he was rebuffed as the Sabo community
vowed not to take back the transformer from Senator Folarin.
Efforts
by our correspondent to get Senator Folarin’s personal reaction on the
development was futile as he could not be reached.
