Osun gov election will be walkover for SDP —Omisore

AHEAD of the Osun State governorship election slated for later in the year, a one time  Deputy Governor of the  state, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said that the contest would be a walkover, if given the ticket of the party, saying the people of the state are tired of both the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties.

Senator Omisore stated this at the weekend after he picked the nomination form for the race under the Social Democratic Party, SDP at its National Secretariat in Abuja.

According to him, “Osun state is the worst-governed state in this country. The state is in the intensive care now and it needs someone with experience  to govern the state. The people of the state are tired of the APC, PDP and others.

“I am sure that very soon, I will emerge as the governor in Osun State. I will do my best to emerge through a free and fair primaries. We should put the past issues behind us and move forward and I promise the party, Nigerians and the people of Osun State that I will not fail. On any issue in this country I have a position and I do not sit on the fence.

“We will deliver Osun State to SDP. This party will form national government in 2019.

“Courts  have installed more governors in this country than politicians and the people. They have taken advantage of the problem in the system and lack of awareness on the part of public. I am here as a democrat from Osun State.”
