The immediate past National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, has declared that the party is not contesting next year’s governorship election in Osun State to participate but is determined to win.
Naija News reports that Omisore stated this as he commenced grassroots consultations across the state over his decision to join the race for the APC governorship ticket.
In a statement issued by his media office and signed by Jamiu Olawumi, the former Deputy Governor stated that he is committed to due process and consensus-building, hence his decision to engage with party members at the grassroots before making a final decision.
“This is not about ambition alone; it is about collective reasoning and strategy. Osun needs common sense now more than ever. We cannot afford to field a candidate who merely participates, we must present a candidate who can win,” Omisore said.
At the consultation, former Commissioner for Education, Hon. Folorunso Oladoyin Bamisayemi, praised Omisore’s role as APC National Secretary in averting internal crises and ensuring the emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party’s 2023 presidential candidate.
“Senator Omisore’s base in Ife is one of the four largest voting blocs in Osun. His sustained financial and strategic support for the APC, including backing of reinstated local government officials across Osun, speaks volumes of his commitment,” Bamisayemi said.
Similarly, Hon. Olanrewaju Balogun, Chairman of Ilesa East Local Government Area, described Omisore’s project as a unity agenda.
“With these successful engagements, Senator Omisore is set to continue consultations across the state in what many stakeholders are calling the beginning of a rescue mission for Osun State,” he said.
The consultation tour also featured a courtesy visit to Chief Akinwande Ayinde Akinola, the Sawe of Ilesa, at his country home in Ijamo, where discussions centred on reinforcing mutual commitment to Osun’s progress.
