Osun APC: ‘Omisore Lost Fair And Square’

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Saturday’s governorship poll, Senator Iyiola Omisore, lost “fairly”.

The party was reacting to Omisore’s remarks that his defeat to Rauf Aregbesola of APC was due to the damage done to him and his party by the former Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Rufus Akeju.

Omisore said: “We had a situation where a clearly partisan REC had opened the entire electoral system to our opponent from the registration stage through data storage to personnel loading… Before he left, he did a lot of harm in the system that would take years to rectify”.

But in a statement yesterday by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, APC said: “To accuse the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Akeju, especially, is the hallmark of a man in delusional stupor. He has not been able to climb down from his high horse of living a lie.


“Omisore lost fair and square because the people rejected him for his notoriety as a violently–disposed individual.
