The governorship candidate of the
Social Democratic Party (SDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore,has explained why he
decided to form an alliance with the All Progressives Congress,APC ahead of
Thursday Osun State rerun election.
Omisore who had been visited by
PDP and APC leaders for an alliance on Wednesday finally announced his decision
to join APC.
On why he signed alliance with
APC, Omisore in a letter he personally signed on Wednesday, titled: ‘Formation
of Coalition Government and Rerun of Governorship Election on Thursday 27th
September, 2018, on Osun State,” said his decision to form an alliance with the
APC was because of its readiness to adopt and implement SDP’s programme.
The letter reads, “Our decision
to form a coalition government is based on a party that is ready to work with
SDP to adopt and implement the core values of our party which is social
justice, equity and good governance.
“The PDP and APC parties have
approached us for coalition based on our performance and grassroots network,
especially in the seven units earmarked for rerun.
“Our core values and philosophies
as indicated in our SDP manifestos, ‘Restoration Agenda,’ have all been
presented to the APC and PDP representatives who have approached us for support
and formation of a coalition government.
“The core party’s programmes
include: “Professionalism and Performance in the Public Sector,” which by
interpretation, “Workers must be motivated and trained; Payment of the
accumulated salaries; Pensions and arrears within the first three months of the
administration; to be followed by payment of full salary to all categories of
workers.
“Revamping of Education Sector;
Equity in Access to Services across Osun State; Local Content and Innovation in
the Investment and Development of the state; Focus on robust and Effective
security of all and sundry.
“Restoration and uplifting the
condition of service Obas and Chiefs in the state.
“For the ‘Restoration Agenda’ to
be effectively implemented, SDP, Osun State would ensure that her core values
are considered and incorporated into the development agenda of a party of
choice for a meaningful coalition.
“In this regard, we have
forwarded our proposals for coalition government to the PDP representatives
headed by the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki and the APC high-powered
delegation by Dr Kayode Fayemi, the newly elected governor of Ekiti State.
” The APC had since come back to
accept all the conditions proposed to them by us to form a coalition government,
while the PDP party is yet to respond.
“We have therefore as a party,
SDP, accepted to support the APC for victory in the rerun election tomorrow and
therefore form a coalition government.”
so SDP is as corrupted as apc, well Nigerians all know from the saying show me your friend and I will tell you who you are what a shame
