As the struggle to succeed
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun rages on between the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, many people have been
taken aback by the resolution of Senator Iyiola Omisore to work for the APC.
Omisore, a candidate of the
Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the September 22 governorship election in the
state had on Wednesday, declared to work with the APC to ensure victory for its
candidate, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola.
The
gubernatorial election in the state was declared inconclusive by Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC, citing electoral guidelines, which
stipulate that the margin between the two leading contestants must be in excess
of registered voters where votes were cancelled.
Meanwhile, it was reliably
gathered that the scramble to get the support of Omisore might eventually be
efforts in futility based on the voting strength of the area where Omisore has
political influence.
Garage Olode, in Ife South Local
Government, where Omisore’s father is a monarch, and which naturally gives the
former lawmaker some political influence has 335 registered voters.
Meanwhile, Orolu, a stronghold of
PDP, with three polling units has 947 registered voters, likewise Alekuwodo
ward 5, unit 17 in Osogbo, where PDP also commands significant influence, has
884 registered voters.
Also, Oyere, in Ife South local
government with 167 voters will be shared between the two parties, as well as
Ife North, making up the seven units of 3498 voters where rerun election is on.
