Olu Falae, national chairman of
the Social Democratic Party (SDP), says he was not consulted before Iyiola
Omisore entered into an alliance with the All Progressives Congress (APC) for
the Osun state governorship rerun election.
Omisore, candidate of the SDP who
came third in the inconclusive election, had turned down the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) to pitch his tent with the APC.
The former deputy governor of
Osun on Wednesday said he will support the candidate of APC, Gboyega Oyetola,
during the rerun on Thursday.
He made this known while
addressing reporters at his Ile-Ife residence.
“We have accepted to support the
APC for victory in the rerun election tomorrow and thereafter form a coalition
government,” Omisore said.
The SDP governorship candidate
was wooed by the likes of Kayode Fayemi, governor-elect of Ekiti state, Adams
Oshiomhole, national chairman of APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of Kano
state, Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo, Ibikunle Amosun, governor of Ogun and
Muhammad Baduru, governor of Jigawa.
Bt Falae insists that he was not
notified about Omisore’s decision.
He said: “I’m not aware of the
decision of Senator Omisore to work for APC in the rerun election in Osun state
and form a coalition government with the APC after the election.
“I was not consulted by Omisore
before he took the decision. Therefore, the SDP is not involved in such
coalition.”
The rerun will take place in four
local government areas, one of which is Omisore’s stronghold.
