Oyo State: PDP Guber Candidate, Folarin Gives up on Race

Collation of results of the governorship elections in Oyo State is still going on but the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Sen. Teslim Folarin has already conceded defeat.
Folarin, in a radio message on Splash FM Ibadan this evening, thanked his supporters and congratulated the eventual winner in advance.

His words: “I thank our people for the support given to us during our campaign. It was humbling. For the eventual winner, I congratulate him in advance and promise to personally call him when he is declared the winner. For us, the people have spoken and we respect their wish. Thank you.”

Results coming in show that Folarin is lagging far behind other contestants – incumbent Abiola Ajimobi (APC), Rashidi Ladoja (Accord) and Adebayo Alao-Akala (Labour)
The results show that Ajimobi is leading in about 20 local governments although he is being closely followed by Ladoja and Alao-Akala in that order.
