Folarin campaigns at polling unit, doles out money

There was commotion at Ward 5, Ona Ara Local Government Area of Oyo State, on Saturday when the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the state, Teslim Folarin, publicly doled out money to his party supporters at his polling unit.
The PDP governorship candidate defied the rules when he openly shouted ‘Te sibe'(print it there), a popular campaign slogan, urging people to vote for him.

One of the youths, who grabbed the money from Folarin, tried to run away, but was soon held by the angry crowd.
Those on the queue waiting to vote began to scramble for their share of the money.
The commotion, which lasted for over 20 minutes, saw the youths squeezing one another’s clothes while those, who managed to grab a few notes, received blows from others.
Police deployed in the unit watched as the youths tackled themselves in the brawl.
Folarin, who cast his votes at St. John’s Primary School, hosting two polling units at about 3pm, had addressed journalists before voting.
He came in company with his wife, Angela.
He told journalists that he was not satisfied with the performance of the card reader.
He said,”The card reader is very slow in accrediting and verifying voters’ identity.This was why we kicked against it earlier. Although, I was not delayed,reports from other parts of th
state are not commendable.”
He said the All Progressives Congress had failed to deliver good governance to the masses.
Folarin predicted a landslide victory for President Goodluck Jonathan,saying he was impressed with the large turn out.
