PDP Governorship Candidate Removes Transformer Donated To Community Because He Lost

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 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.

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.

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.
