The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has described the purported transfer of power from Governor Rauf Aregbesola to Senator Iyiola Omisore as “an eclipse of the sun”.
This followed Omisore’s statement that he was in the 2018 governorship race to “free the state from bad governance”.
In a statement yesterday, the party said: “Omisore has no practical experience in governance worthy of respect to give the people.
“He was disgraced from office, impeached within two years when he was deputy governor.
“Omisore’s pedigree of disloyalty and inordinate ambition has lived with him since then till now, and nothing significant has changed in his political mold.

Omisore ‘s participation in the last governorship election is obscene and characterised by violence.
‘To worsen matters, he has no restraint in lying against his opponents, about events and his political worth.
‘It is the reason the PDP chieftain can neither understand the dynamics of governance nor the tragic consequences of the economic downturn in Nigeria and how it has impacted Osun.
‘This is why we will not waste time and energy responding to the details of his wishy washy criticisms of the APC government.”
