Obasanjo Faults Omisore’s Guber Ambition

Feb 13th, 2010 | By admin | Category: Front Page Story, NEWS

omisoreThe governorship ambition of Senator Iyiola Omisore on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has ran into trouble waters recently in the ancient town of Ile-Ife, when the nation’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo added his voice to nail what many termed Omisore’s political coffin.

Inspite of the dwindling fortunes of the party in recent times, chieftains of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State have been found to be optimistic as all hands have been ordered by the party hierarchy in the state to be on deck to ensure the emergence of the senator currently representing Ife/Ijesa senatorial district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

According to sources at a meeting held recently at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the nation’s former number one citizen was reported to have warned the party chieftains in the state on the need to avert what the party recently witnessed during the recently-held governorship election in Anambra State, where the party lost to the current Governor Peter Obi of the state.

Obasanjo reportedly warned the party leaders in the state to desist from campaigning for Omisore’s candidature as this would definitely cause the party’s fortune to further nose-dive in the State of the Living Spring.

OSUN DEFENDER’s recent investigations revealed that the meeting was called at the instance of the Ooni with Oyinlola working behind the scene with the aim of persuading the former president to give a tacit approval to Omisore’s candidature.

The meeting, the source further stated, had most of the party’s big-wigs boycotting the meeting as they were reported to have little or no confidence in what would likely be the outcome.

The medium gathered from impeccable sources that the state Governor Oyinlola had mandated the entire party hierarchy in the state on the need to work for Omisore’s candidature as he is owing the embattled senator his political fortune.

The governor was quoted to have emphasized at various fora that he remains eternally grateful to Omisore for he was the one who swapped his party’s governorship form for him (Oyinlola) with which he was able to eventually emerge as the party’s flag-bearer in the state in 2003.

However, further findings revealed that Obasanjo was being economical with the truth, as he was quite transparent enough to show that he was also working for the emergence of his own candidate, which he is currently keeping to his chest.

The former president was believed to be working for the emergence of his one-time minister and acolyte, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode and was even believed to have discussed the issue with the frontline monarch, but the royal father was non-committal.

Findings from series of investigations by the medium had revealed that some of the prominent governorship aspirants are merely bidding their time as information made available to the medium shown that a lot of political horse-tradings with other political parties are currently going on among the aspirants.

    They (PDP) can never have their way in Osun state again. They have failed from the onset has there is no election to the governorship seat come 2011. Good people of the state had voted for their own man in 2007 and the man will soon lead the state for at least good 4 years, “sikena”.

    Well, whether Omisore nor any other PDP bigwigs emerged as PDP flagbearer, there will be no election in 2011 as Aregbesola will have to complete the first four year term. Simple truth but big blow to OBJ & co.
