The Governor Of Oyo State, ‘Seyi Makinde has noted that the case file concerning the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Teslim Folarin is a criminal case.
Makinde recalled the case of the death of a former leader of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alh. Lateef Eleweomo, who was maimed in 2010 of which Sen. Teslim Folarin is circumstantial to the death.
Makinde, who noted that opening the file will not be relevant, maintained that whatever the decision he makes, will be towards the development of Oyo State which is his priority.
“If I want to take decisions from where I seat, it should be about the development of Oyo State.
“However, whoever has a glass house should not throw stone on others. It is evident that a life was lost. A precious life was lost and nobody’s life should be wasted for politics.
“Putting Senator Folarin in jail won’t benefit the people of Oyo. Things have happened in the past. If we go to court, alot of things will be involved. When we go to war, people can still come to a round table to discuss settlement but it can never be like before. I will let the sleeping dog lie”, he added.
