The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the March 18 election in Oyo State, Teslim Folarin, has explained why he was defeated by Governor Seyi Makinde in the exercise.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Makinde as the winner of the election after he polled 563,756 votes to defeat Folarin, who garnered 256,685 votes in the poll.
Folarin, who spoke at a reception held in honour of a lawmaker representing the Ibarapa/Ido Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Remi Oseni, at Idigbaro, Ido local government area of the state on Saturday, said he lost the election as a result of an arrangement for President Bola Tinubu’s to win the state in the February 25 presidential election.
