Oyo South Senatorial-elect, Barrister Sharafadeen Alli has met with Ibadan Mogajis and solicited their support for the governorship aspiration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Oloye Teslim Kolawole Folarin.
Alli who defeated Mogaji Joseph Tegbe of PDP and Kolapo Kola-Daisi of Accord at the just concluded House of Senate election admonished Ibadan Mogajis present at the meeting held in Alice Hall, UCH East Gate to give their maximum support for Senator Folarin to emerge governor of Oyo State come March 11.
While speaking further, Alli says:“As you are aware, I am the Akogun of Ibadan land and the Maye Balogun of Ibadan land. Teslim Folarin is the Asaaju Olubadan of Ibadanland, Senior Chief Akinade Fijabi is the Ikolaba of Ibadanland. Alhaji (Dr) Isiaka Kolawole is a Mogaji, so also is Chief Sina Alabi. There are many trustworthy men of high calibre and pedigree in our party, l challenge any other party that has the same or higher pedigree and caliber to show-case it. APC is unique”
“So, as we have shown, we are part of you. You are the closest to the people and you understand what we mean when we say the present administration in the State has killed local government administration. It is the same laws that Gov. Ladoja operated with, that Gov. Akala used, that Gov. Ajimobi implemented and local governments strive during their tenure, the present administration got there and turned everything upside down, saying he gave them N10M monthly payment and they couldn’t account for it. Meanwhile, both the Government and the local Councils knew why they couldn’t account for it”
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will preside over the most unprecedented time of development in our Country. You were aware that he brought Enron (a power generation Company) to the Country when he was Governor of Lagos State, but it was not allowed to function. Imagine, if we have had independent power generation since then, would we be having the power supply challenges we are having today?
Tinubu assured us there won’t be strikes in our Universities anymore and that he would remove subsidies and put the funds on education, health and economy. Fuel prices may initially go up, but it will be for a while, then it will drop again like the price of mobile phones and SIM cards”.
