Teslim Kolawole Folarin's (TKF) bid for governor of Oyo state has the full backing of a coalition of worldwide activists for good governance in Nigeria located in the UK.
The Global Leadership Alliance for Democracy (GLAD), which has offices in Europe and the United States and is managed by barrister Felicia Atielo, has its headquarters in London.
The upcoming elections in Nigeria have prompted GLAD members to conduct a forensic review of the pledges and manifestos of the key political aspirants in the nation. In its first public declaration of support, GLAD is eager to announce that TKF's masses-focused governance manifesto shows the most promise for providing the electorate with the benefits of democracy.
“TKF’s well-planned and well-laid-out promise to the people of Oyo State gives GLAD as an organisation optimism that the turnaround yearned for by Nigerians which will be based on economic empowerment, agriculture, good governance and accountability can be delivered in Oyo State with TKF’s election in March” Barr. Atielo said at GLAD’s press conference in London.
Speaking further, GLAD’s convener and chairperson remarked that the comprehensive and relatable content of TKF’s Rescue Mission 2023 manifesto led GLAD to research further on TKF’s achievements as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
There is a consistent track record of TKF’s interest in and delivery of key educational and agricultural projects in Oyo State which have of course been verified by GLAD’s partners in Nigeria. “By using sound education and opening up Oyo State’s massive agricultural export earning potential as a tool for the upliftment of the people of Oyo State, TKF is bound to create a legacy that will be entrenched in Oyo State for many decades to come” she added.
GLAD enjoins the people of Oyo State to come out en-masse to vote in Teslim Kolawole Folarin of APC on the 11th of March 2023. GLAD also further advocates for other political aspirants to use TKF’s manifesto as a template for how to deliver masses-focused dividends of democracy for their electorates.
