The Action Congress of Nigeria, Oyo State chapter, has asked former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, to face his ordeals squarely in the hands of policemen who swooped on his Ibadan, Oyo State home recently and stop looking non-existing places for causes of his travails.
The party made this known in a release issued by its Publicity Secretary, Hon. Dauda Kolawole.
According to the ACN, Folarin has several explanations to offer over his alleged unholy alliance with discredited kingpins of the National Union of road Transport workers in the state, who are said to be boasting that they would help him become the Oyo State governor in 2015 through violence on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Kolawole said: “The men of the Nigeria Police Force were just doing their lawful duties by searching Senator Folarin’s home.
“The information that he is in cahoots with Tokyo is ten a dime on the streets of Ibadan.”
The party distanced the Governor Abiola Ajimobi-led Oyo State Government from the search.
It said the police would be failing in its duties if it does not search for arms and ammunition with which the Tokyo group had been threatening to destabilize Oyo State.
The ACN said: “But Folarin and his NURTW accomplices ought to know that the people of our state will resist every relic of violence of the past.
“Our people, who can now sleep with their eyes closed, will not allow PDP’s henchmen have another opportunity in Oyo State.”
While exonerating Ajimobi from the police invasion of the former senator’s home, the ACN said that the police was too sophisticated to chase shadows.
“The people of Oyo State are grateful to the men of the police for this search. We all know that the boasts to destabilize the state that are emanating from these discredited persons are not mere imaginations,” the ACN said.
