Senator Iyiola Omisore, the
governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the just
concluded election in Osun State, has finally revealed why he didn’t support
PDP and Senator Ademola Adeleke in Osun rerun election.
Omisore who spoke in Osogbo
yesterday during a meeting with members of the SDP from across the 30 local
government areas of the state, said he opted to support the candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, in Osun rerun election
because the leadership of the PDP in the state said they did not need his
support.
He further added that
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar wanted to come and discuss with him before
the rerun when he came to Osogbo, but he (Atiku) was prevented from coming by
the leadership of the PDP in the state.
On why he didn’t support
Senator Adeleke, Omisore said, “I want to adopt all what Dr Farounbi said. We
gave them (APC and PDP) our manifesto.
“We dwelt on payment of
arrears of salaries, pensions, and gratuities, on local content, employment for
our youths and the reorganization of the educational system, among others.
“We went to negotiation
with a clear mind that Osun must be free and thank God our coalition has
produced a new future for the state.
“In addition to what Dr.
Faroumbi said, the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomole, said clearly
that our discussion was devoid of any financial commitment. He said they were
ready to work.”
