A group, the Forward Looking Elites (FLE), says Oyo and Nigeria will thrive under the leadership of Teslim Folarin and Bola Tinubu, governorship and presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections.

“After our careful analytical appraisal of these candidates both at the National and State level, we are able to find a silver lining that it can only get better with these new Nation’s handlers if they are voted into power as we have unequivocally aligned with for supports by Nigerians and Oyo State electorates,” asserted Owolabi Kolade, FLE group leader.

The group supported the governorship and presidential candidates with billboards, banners, posters, stickers, and shirts.

“This is a well commendable support you have done for our presidential and governorship projects. This is massive and I really appreciate it and I will forever cherish it,” Mr Folarin while receiving the gifts in Ibadan on Sunday.

He thanked the group for engaging actively in grassroot mobilisation and supporting his campaign with the gifts.

The APC governorship candidate further stressed he would generate employment, secure lives and properties and improve the overall standard of living of Oyo State residents if elected.

He said his election would bring about a new era with democratic dividends that would positively affect the lives of the people of Oyo.

Mr Folarin asserted that FLE’s adopted slogan, “The Most Qualified,” for Mr Tinubu, was evidence of his capacity to lead.

The FLE leader reaffirmed the group’s backing and stated that its members were confident in the ability of the two APC candidates to lead the citizens of Oyo State and Nigeria.
