And it is easy to know the best candidate from the BBC debate and Splash FM debate. I never knew that some leaders in Oyo state will descend to this level where competence would be sacrificed on the alter of riches and religion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to let it be clear to everyone of us that I and all the 11 local government chairmen in the 11 local government areas in Ibadanland are not supporting Senator Teslim Folarin and I have been mandated by them not to step down for him or the APC\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the Governorship Election in Oyo State, the Candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Oyo State, Barrister Michael Folorunsho Lana has declared that he is not stepping down for the gubernatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Teslim Folarin.
