Omisore Declares For Governorship, Promises Change


FORMER senate member, Iyiola Omisore, who represented Osun East on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has formerly declared his intention to run for the Osun State governorship election scheduled for August 8th.

Omisore, who is contesting on the platform of PDP said his interest to occupy the Abere Government House remains has not changed.

Addressing mammoth crowd of well wishers and supporters during the flag off of his ambition at the Freedom Park, Oshogbo, yesterday, Omisore highlighted his eight-point agenda; decried the pauperisation of Osun people through “inhuman taxes, demolition of markets without alternatives, destruction of the state education heritage and creation of religious crisis in an otherwise harmonious state by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).”

The former chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, promised to restore dignity of education, which he claimed has been completely messed up by Gov. Rauf Aregbesola, focus on agriculture and rural development and address the lingering religious crisis.

He said: “I am here offering myself for service. I am here to correct the anomalies and set our state on sustainable paths.”

While urging the people of Osun to be weary of the ongoing registration exercise of the APC, Omisore said that from all indications, “the Aregbesola led government has dragged Osun backward and there is the need to redeem the state.”

Former governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, appealed to the people of to give Omisore a chance to govern the state, saying: “PDP remains the best option to move the South West forward.”

“Omisore should be given a chance to govern Osun state because the massive turnout of supporters indicates the readiness of the people for a change. It has shown that the people are tired of the administration of the APC.”
