Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the state since assuming office on May 29th, 2019. His first term in office has been marked by remarkable achievements and progress in various sectors, including education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, and security, among others.

Governor Makinde's administration has prioritized education, which is evident in the massive investments made towards upgrading infrastructure and improving the quality of education in the state. Over 1,500 schools across the state have been renovated, and the government has also provided learning materials to pupils and students, as well as training programs for teachers.

The government has embarked on a massive road construction and rehabilitation project, including the rehabilitation of different roads, and many others.

Writer's Group Accuses Senator Teslim Folarin of Incompetence and Lack of Capacity to Govern Oyo State

 

WRITER'S GROUP ACCUSES SENATOR TESLIM FOLARIN OF INCOMPETENCE AND LACK OF CAPACITY TO GOVERN OYO STATE


 

The Writers for Democratic Change (WfDC) has brought to the attention of the general public the incompetence and lack of capacity of Senator Teslim Folarin to represent the people of Oyo State. As a responsible civil society group, WfDC cannot sit back and watch the people of Oyo State suffer under the ineffective leadership of a politician who has nothing to offer.

This statement was made by the Coordinator of the WfDC, Wole Adedoyin who is also the Pioneer State Secretary of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) and former State Secretary of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) in Oyo State.

According to the Statement, “Senator Teslim Folarin has shown over time that he lacks the requisite knowledge and experience to effectively represent the people of Oyo State in the National Assembly. His performance since his election has been nothing short of abysmal. His lack of impact and inability to attract any significant development to his constituency is a clear indication that he has nothing to offer the people.”

“It is disheartening to note that Senator Folarin, who was once the Senate Leader, could not use his position to attract meaningful development to Oyo State. Rather than channel his energy towards legislative duties that would benefit his constituents, he was more interested in playing politics and advancing his personal interests. This lackadaisical attitude has left his constituents in a state of despair and despondency.”

“We have carefully monitored Senator Teslim Folarin's activities since his election and can confidently say that he has not initiated any significant project or made any meaningful contribution to the development of Oyo State. It is a shame that a representative who was elected to serve the people has not done anything tangible to justify the mandate given to him.”

“The people of Oyo State deserve a representative who will prioritize their welfare and work towards improving their standard of living. Unfortunately, Senator Teslim Folarin has failed in this regard. His lack of ideas, coupled with his inability to attract development to his constituency, is a clear indication that he has nothing to offer the people of Oyo State.”

“It is important to note that Senator Folarin has been in the National Assembly for over six years, yet he has nothing tangible to show for it. This is unacceptable, and we call on the people of Oyo State to hold him accountable for his failure to represent them effectively. The time has come for the people to demand more from their representatives and hold them accountable for their actions.”

“We urge the people of Oyo State to support and vote for Governor Seyi Makinde, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who has a clear vision for the state and the capacity to bring development to the people. Senator Teslim Folarin has had his chance and has shown that he is incapable of delivering on his promises. It is time for him to step aside and allow someone else to take up the mantle of leadership and steer Oyo State towards greater heights.

Finally, the WfDC reiterated that Senator Teslim Folarin has nothing to offer the people of Oyo State. His lack of impact and failure to attract any significant development to his constituency is a clear indication that he is not fit to govern the people of Oyo State. WfDC therefore called on the people of Oyo State to reject him at the polls this Saturday and vote Governor Seyi Makinde for the second time. Governor Seyi Makinde is a candidate who has the capacity and vision to lead the state towards progress and development.

10 Reasons Why You Must Not Vote For Senator Teslim Folarin This Coming Saturday

 

TEN REASONS WHY YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR SENATOR TESLIM FOLARIN THIS COMING SATURDAY


 

By: Wole Adedoyin

Senator Teslim Folarin, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was elected to represent the Oyo Central Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate. Despite his position, many residents of Oyo State believe that Senator Folarin has failed to deliver on his promises and has nothing to offer the people of Oyo State.

Firstly, Senator Folarin has been in office for over six years, yet he has not initiated any meaningful development projects in his constituency. While other senators have embarked on various development projects such as building schools, health centres and providing water to their constituents, Senator Folarin seems to have nothing to offer.

Secondly, Senator Folarin's performance in the Senate has been lacklustre. He has not sponsored any significant bills or initiated any debates that would benefit the people of Oyo State. His attendance rate is also poor, as he is often absent from plenary sessions.

Thirdly, Senator Folarin's constituency office is almost always closed, and his staff are not readily available to the people. Constituents often have to wait for long hours to see him or get assistance from his office, which is unacceptable.

Fourthly, Senator Folarin has not been responsive to the needs of his constituents. He has not been proactive in addressing the various issues affecting his constituents, such as unemployment, poverty, and insecurity. This lack of concern has led many to believe that he is not interested in their welfare.

Fifthly, Senator Folarin has not been visible in his constituency. He has not participated in town hall meetings or community events, which are essential for engaging with constituents and understanding their needs. This lack of visibility has contributed to the perception that he is not interested in the welfare of his constituents.

Sixthly, Senator Folarin's leadership style is autocratic, and he does not consult with his constituents before taking decisions that affect them. This lack of consultation has led to mistrust and apathy among his constituents.

Seventhly, Senator Folarin has not been able to attract any significant development projects to his constituency. This is particularly disappointing, given that he is a ranking senator and a member of the ruling party.

Eighthly, Senator Folarin has been embroiled in various controversies, which have detracted from his effectiveness as a senator.

Ninthly, Senator Folarin has not been able to bring the dividends of democracy to his constituents. He has not been able to influence policies that would benefit his constituents, such as creating job opportunities and attracting investments to the state.

Lastly, Senator Folarin's lack of achievements has led to a decline in his popularity among his constituents. Many have lost faith in his ability to represent them effectively, and they are calling for his replacement.

Finally, Senator Folarin has failed to deliver on his promises and has nothing to offer the people of Oyo State. His lack of achievements, poor leadership style, and inability to attract development projects to his constituency have made him ineffective as a senator. It is time for him to step down and allow someone else to represent the people of Oyo Central Senatorial District effectively.
