Osun Council Chairs In Blood Oath For Omisore
Apr 20th, 2010 | By Bankole Alao David | Category: NEWS
Political horse-trading within the fold of the Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the governorship ambition of Senator Iyiola Omisore seems to have entered into a very dangerous dimension for some stakeholders have resorted to blood oath.
Investigation conducted by OSUN DEFENDER has revealed how a top official of the party summoned some local government council chairmen to Osogbo home of a chieftain of the party for oath-taking.
It was learnt that the top official of the party, who has positioned himself as the deputy governorship candidate to Omisore, has been labouring on the emergence of the controversial Ife-born politician as the party flagbearer at all costs.
It was gathered that one of the trusted loyalists of the top official who is a lawyer was given the task to administer the blood oath on the invited council and party chairmen with a view to securing their loyalty and that of their delegates at the primary election.
Findings further revealed that the top official of the party resorted to oath-taking, when all entreaties offered the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade to throw his weight behind Omisore had failed
It was gathered that the statement credited to the former President Olusegun Obasanjo when the issue of Omisore’s candidacy was raised, that the party could not afford to field “a criminal” as a governorship candidate was another dimension that jolted Omisore’s camp into scouting for support from the other stakeholders at all costs.
Checks have shown that each council and party chairman present was given an undisclosed lump sum of money with a promise to place them in privileged positions if Omisore eventually becomes the governor before they were made to go through some rituals including blood-oath.
Investigation has also shown that Omisore’s camp has allegedly perfected plans to persuade or prevent the would-be delegates who are seen to be disloyal to the camp, promising to give hell to those who may want to support any candidate presented against him by the Ooni’s palace and Oyinlola’s camp during the primary election yet to be fixed.
However, some people loyal to the camp of Omisore have started persuading the leading aspirant of the party, the former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Fatai Akinbade to support the group against the machinery of the Ooni and the Oyinlola during the primary election with a promise to return the favour when it gets to the turn of the Osun West to which they have been meeting a brickwall, as the Ogbaagba-born politician has insisted that he remains a candidate to beat.
Meanwhile, checks have further shown that majority of the party faithful have decided to back Akinbade against Omisore and other camps, premising their argument on the cross appeal factor of the former.
It was gathered that majority of the council chairmen have been coerced to give their loyalty to Omisore by the leadership of the PDP in the state as at the time of filing this report.
It would be recalled that Omisore has been driven by his ambition right from the beginning of the nation’s current democratic experience.
As a deputy governor to Chief Bisi Akande, it was reported that Omisore’s violent disposition to politics led to the murder of Honourable Odunayo Olagbaju, his sympathizer, before he was alleged of complicity in the murder of the former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige.

The current horse trading with the PDP does not come as a surprise neither is the blood oath which has become a common practice of our shameless politicians. It was rumored in the past that some politicians put the life of their firstborn at stake to get to power. Whatever they do, thew power of the electorate is sacrosanct and Osun Defender must continue to sensitize the voters on the antics of the politicians.
