Ibadan, Oyo State – July 5, 2025 –
In a demonstration of unity, sportsmanship, and unwavering party loyalty, Team TALSCO has congratulated Hon. Fola Oyekunle, popularly known as DON, on his emergence as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election.
Releasing a statement shortly after the meeting that produced the consensus candidate, Team TALSCO reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of unity and collaboration, likening the political process to the game of football—where after 90 minutes, extra time, or even penalty shootouts, all players must embrace, accept the outcome, and move forward together.
“Our slogan at Team TALSCO is rooted in the spirit of sportsmanship. Just like in football, once the game is over, we accept the results and unite. We wholeheartedly congratulate Hon. Fola Oyekunle for clinching the PDP ticket, and we are ready to throw our full support behind him in the upcoming election,” the statement read.
The team also commended the leadership and foresight of Oyo State Governor, His Excellency Engr. Oluwaseyi Abiodun Makinde, for his continued commitment to the progress of the state and for fostering a democratic atmosphere that allows internal party democracy to thrive.
“Governor Makinde’s wisdom and efforts have consistently positioned Oyo State as the Pace Setter, and we are proud to be part of that legacy,” the team added.
Team TALSCO concluded its statement with a passionate reaffirmation of its allegiance to the PDP and its vision for Ibadan North and Nigeria at large.
“Long live Ibadan North Federal Constituency, long live Oyo State, and long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
