A transformer donated to the people of Sabo community in
Ibadan, Oyo State by PDP governorship candidate in the
state, Sen Teslim Folarin, was removed a day after the
election on Sunday April 12th by some aides of the former
Senate Leader, according to DailyTrust
Residents of Sabo community in Ibadan, Oyo State capital
were shocked 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 transformer to an unknown
place.
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.
It was 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 journalists to get Senator Folarin's personal
reaction on the development was futile as he could not be
reached.
Maiborno however insisted that the transformer was
removed with a view to keeping it in a safer place. "Senator
Folarin is a man of his words," Maiborno told inquisitive
journalists.
