According
to a report by Daily Trust, a transformer donated to the people of Sabo
community in Ibadan, Oyo State by PDP governorship candidate in the state, Sen
Teslim Folarin, was removed a day after the election on Sunday April 12th

An alarm
raised by members of the Sabo community on sighting those removing the
Transformer in the early hours of Sunday did not move the perpetrators who
eventually removed the
transformer to an unknown place.
transformer to an unknown place.
Members
of the Sabo community instantly stormed the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji
Ahmed Dahiru Zungeru where they expressed their worry, a development which
compelled the Sarki to wade into the matter by calling on Folarin’s political
associate within the community, Alhaji Bashiru Maiborno, for clarification.
Daily
Trust gathered that it was at this stage that Baiborno spiritedly made moves to
effect the return of the transformer to Sabo community, but he was rebuffed as
the Sabo community vowed not to take back the transformer from Senator Folarin.
Efforts
by our correspondent to get Senator Folarin’s personal reaction on the
development was futile as he could not be reached.
Maiborno
however insisted that the transformer was removed with a view to keeping it in
a safer place. “Senator Folarin is a man of his words,” Maiborno told inquisitive
journalists.
