Ahead of the Osun rerun governorship election, Senator Iyiola Omisore said his Social Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress will form a coalition to govern the state after the election. This will be the first time he would be giving a hint into the electoral arrangement with the APC.
“We have accepted to support the APC for victory in the rerun election tomorrow and thereafter form a coalition government,” he said.

This is coming after over 72 hours of being pressurised by the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress ahead of the rerun election in the state. He said he would never renege on his promise of good governance, accountability and human dignity in the state.

The announcement formally shut the doors of collaboration with the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke. Omisore dumped the PDP after high level talks with the leaders of the APC in Ile-Ife which comprised the party chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and four governors, Ajimobi, Ganduje, Amosun and Badaru, including governor-elect Kayode Fayemi and minister of information and culture Lai Mohammed.

Senator Omisore assured his followers and admirers that he will not abandon his campaign promises even as he engaged all stakeholders on the way forward to ensure the progress of Osun state.
