He brought a mad dog in and said he should be killing people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we have told him that we shall retaliate with three if he slaps us once. Let him dare us. The woman whose son was killed at Iwo Road Shopping Complex, last year is sick now with a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I come today and want you to support me, and I want to contest the governorship election in our system in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Balogun also faulted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/05\/01\/makinde-appoints-new-permanent-secretaries-tutors-general-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Makinde<\/a> for insecurity in the state and also said the policy of powering streetlights with diesel generators at this stage was a waste.<\/p>\n<p>The senator said he did not defect to the APC but had come back home to where he belonged.<\/p>\n<p>He said he won the senatorial election on the platform of the PDP in 2019 by the grace of God and the support of the progressives who supported him.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWhen Senator Lanlehin left him, he said, no problem; Mulikat (Adeola) left him, he said no problem; Olopoeyan left him, he said no problem, and others left, he said no problem, Balogun has left him now, he said no problem. But there are a lot of problems for him now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While receiving the defectors, the APC chairman, Isaac Omodewu, said the party was now united, saying many more politicians would still defect to the party very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lawmaker representing Oyo Central Senatorial District at the Senate, Senator Teslim Folarin, has declared his intention to contest the Oyo State governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in 2023.
