OSOGBO -Osun State Governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has tasked the people of Ife/Ijesa senatorial district to ensure that the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Iyiola Omisore,  did not return to the Senate as the representative of the people of the district for the third time.

Addressing supporters of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, at the Obokungbusi Town Hall, Ilesa, Governor Aregbesola, decried a situation where Omisore was allegedly  foisted on the people of Osun East Senatorial District since 2003.
He told the crowd to ensure that in the coming election, they vote out Omisore whose tenure, the Governor declared as “unrewarding and uneventful” since he went to the upper legislative chamber.
The Governor who received 12 leaders of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, led by Mr. John Akintola into the  ACN, declared that “nobody knows Iyiola Omisore’s school. It is a shame to us in Osun State that he is the one representing us in the Senate particularly those of us from Osun East Senatorial District. It will never happen again”.
He calle
d on the people to use their votes to stop Omisore from going to the Senate the third time, saying “enough is enough. We are too educated and too enlightened in Ile-Ife and Ijesaland for Omisore whose school we hardly can trace to be the Senator representing us. He cannot be our representative in the Senate again. It is a shame and it must stop. It will never happen again.”

Aregbesola also urged the people to ensure that they cast their votes for Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Mr. Fola Adeola as president and vice-presidential candidates of ACN because of their pedigree and virtues.

The two men, he explained, “are brilliant and successful in their careers and possess the wherewithal to lead Nigeria to the promised land.”

At the palace of the Owa-Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, Aregbesola was lauded for fulfilling his electoral campaign promises within a short time of coming to power.
