Former Deputy governor of Osun state, Senator Iyiola Omisore on Monday asked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to focus on governance and not propaganda.
Senator Omisore who made this known in a statement from his media office on a press statement by the APC in Osun state that his governorship ambition had become delusional made available to journalists also said his priority is to set Osun state free from“ the economic bondage and bad governance foisted
on the state by the APC.
According to the former Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation,it is now time for the ruling APC in Osun state to look for ways of ensuring payment of the backlog of salary arrears owed workers and the unprecedented failure to deliver on its electioneering promises.
“Now, the people want performance and not talks; the people want food. They want good roads and not abandoned projects despite billions collected as loans. Osun State people want employments; not menial jobs without pay like
OYES. The people want a secured future; not the gloomy, preposterous and unsecured future”he said.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2014
election called on the APC “to stop distracting the people from the reality of lack, deprivation and backwardness that their shameful and callous agenda to harvest Osun State’s money to Lagos, has thrown the state.
“At this point, the APC should really know that its deception game is up; but since it is the season of advice, I don’t think it will be too much to advise
and APC, the Lagos Harvesters in Osun State government, to look elsewhere for topics to distract Osun people from the reality of their catastrophic seven years reign in Osun State”he said.
Senator Omisore noted that “the PDP and the APC have tested their
popularity with the electorate in Osun State for 17 years and the people have always decided in favour of the PDP”, saying, “even if their decisions were
not allowed to stand because the APC had a well-oiled rigging machinery and could buy just anything” as witnessed in 2010 and in the 2014 governorship election”.
On his governorship ambition, Senator Omisore declared that his “ultimate ambition for seeking to govern Osun state is predicated on the
determination to set the state free from the economic bondage and bad governance foisted on the state by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
