Senator Teslim Folarin, the governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, has celebrated Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his emergence as the presidential candidate of the party for the 2023 general elections.
Folarin, who represents the Oyo Central Senatorial District in the Senate, made the congratulatory message, which he personally signed available to journalists following the official declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the primary.
The message saluted the doggedness, sacrifices and sense of patriotism demonstrated by the co-contestants, just as the Senate lauded Tinubu for his maturity.
The message read in parts that “The majority of APC national delegates, backed by majority of presidential aspirants, have spoken with their votes that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has the capacity to defeat PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 general elections and create a developed and prosperous Nigeria in the mold of his achievements in the past in Lagos State, when he assumes the reins from May 29, 2023.
“I urge Asiwaju Tinubu to extend hands of fellowship to his co-contestants and their foot soldiers with a view to closing ranks and working for the victory of the party in the 2023 general elections.
“I have absolute confidence in Asiwaju’s long years of experience in the democratic space and I know he has all it takes to galvanize the entire membership of the party into a formidable force that will ensure victory for our party in 2023 and beyond.
“I assure Asiwaju of my personal commitment as well as the cooperation of the entire members of the APC in Oyo State on his presidential project.”
