Osun Rerun: Why I Chose APC Over PDP – Omisore

Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Osun State governorship election, Iyiola Omisore, said he accepted to work for the the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) because they accepted all his conditions.
Omisore made this known at a news conference attended by the National Chairman of SDP, Prof. Yemi Farounbi on Wednesday in Ile-Ife.

“Our core values and philosophy, as indicated in our SDP manifestoes, have all been presented to APC and PDP.
“APC has since come back to accept all the conditions proposed to them by us, to form a coalition government while the PDP is yet to respond.
“We now therefore, as a party (SDP), accept to support APC for victory in the re-run election tomorrow and thereafter form a coalition government.”
Adeleke currently leads the race with 254,698 votes against his closest rival, Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.
The margin was, however, less than the 3,498 votes in the polling units where voting was cancelled, prompting the Returning Officer, Prof. Joseph Fuwape to declare the election inconclusive.

The rerun will hold in seven polling units across four local government areas of Orolu, Ife north, Ife south and Osogbo.
