According to Adeoti,Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin is a respected and highly connected Senator with deep experience in administration and well grounded in the Political geography of Nigeria. Since his incursion into politics he has devoted his life to serving Nigeria as a nation,Oyo State in general and his Oyo Central people earnestly, diligently and faithfully. As Leader of the 7th Senate,he facilitated and assisted other Senators from Oyo State to lure inestimable and several developmental projects, empowerment schemes and prosperous networking and funding for Oyo State. In the last 3 years as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content in the 9th Senate has initiated,moved and sponsored many bills aimed at blistering the local content quantitative percent in the energy and oil sector. TKF is the rolling troiley of the National Energy Security Bill 2022 which if passed into an Act will help to banish the challenges constituting irritants in the energy sector.
He said, TKF has ensured the lubrication of quality relationship between him and eminent and distinguished personalities in Oyo State irrespective of their Political bends. He is the same Senator who will pay homage to Sen. Adewolu Ladoja,salute the Olubadan and his council, religious and traditional heads. He is the Senator elected by the people of Oyo Central Senatorial District but teamed up with Sen. Abdulfatai Buhari representing Oyo North Senatorial District to raise a motion against the illegal act of the officers of the Nigerian Customs who raided shops of rice sellers in lbadan and Ogbomoso which led to the victims being compensated.
The Asaju Olubadan of lbadanland aside his primary functions of enacting laws,has done tremendously well in other areas of development, notably through the facilitation of the establishment of 17 ICT Centres in Oyo State; fully furnished of 88 Classrooms in the Educational sector. On Youth and Community Development, he facilitated more than 5 empowerment programmes and schemes where over 10000 young men and women got their emancipation and liberation from the concrete jungle of unemployment.

He said,TKF has recorded uncountable and innumerable Projects ranging from road mending, bridges and culvets fixing and provisions of transformers for communities.
As the Journey to decide who governs Oyo State from 2023, l pledge my support for the man that has taken parliamentarian call far beyond the level of just enacting laws,and no wonder the Almighty Allah is positioning him the onerous task of contesting for the Governorshp election of Oyo State in 2023,so that the whole state can feel his developmental strength. *So Why Not Him?* If he can do all these and many others as a distinguished Senator, won’t he accomplish more as the Governor of Oyo State? The answer is YES. Then, the good people of Oyo State, l present TKF to be the next person to carry the cross to become the next Governor of the pacesetter state. *Why Not Him?*. *He Should Be Him* Oyo State needs a 21st century strategist of TKF.
