Osun PDP Governorship Pry Election: Omisore’s Emergence, Good For APC - Osun APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the emergence of Senator Iyiola Omisore as the gover
norship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the August 9 gubernatorial election as a good omen for the APC.

The APC said Omisore’s emergence made victory easier for the party, because the PDP has a candidate that lacks pedigree, credibility, responsibility and focus.

According to the APC in a press statement signed by its Director of Research, Publicity and Strategy, Mr Kunle Oyatomi, on Sunday, the people of the state do not want a candidate with questionable character.
The APC described the primary election that produced Omisore’s candidature as typical of a party, which ground norm for political engagement is gangsterism.

Oyatomi said Omisore’s emergence was not unexpected, as his co-aspirant had to withdraw from the race because of the alleged threat from Omisore and his loyalists.


He said Omisore would stop at nothing including fatal violence to pick his party’s ticket, which he did to pick the governorship ticket of the party.

According to Oyatomi, Osun people have good instinct to decide whether to vote for a desperate politician who will swim in the ocean of their blood to get power, or the one they know who has put Osun on the world map, and has changed their environment and lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens in the last 40 months.

He said: “This character of a PDP candidate has openly boasted that he would reverse all the good works Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has done.

“He has boasted he would stop the feeding of children in primary schools. He will stop the O’YES programme, just as he said ‘Agba Osun’ makes no meaning to him.

“Omisore is on record as saying that Osun does not need the kind of good schools that Aregbesola is building.

“He has boasted that he will stop all the road construction works going on in the state because the people are comfortable with no commerce, no industry, no business status the PDP put it before Aregbesola’s emergence.

“So he would put bulldozers to work, to destroy what the APC government has done; ‘for that is what it takes to reverse what the governor has done.”

The APC spokesperson stated that Yoruba nation does not deserve a man of irrationality, who wants to rule the state by force.

Oyatomi added that the APC said “the quintessence of Omisore’s engagement in Osun and national politics is degraded indeed and Osun people are too intelligent to prefer a destroyer to a builder.”

The APC however said it welcomed Omisore to the race and expect him to be a lot less violent about political engagement this time around because he is unlikely to get away with it.     (Osundefender)
