President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Senator Christopher Iyiola Omisore, as Sub-Chairman of Finance Committee for the reelection presidential inauguration billed for next week Wednesday, May 29th, 2019 at the Eagle Square, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This was disclosed in a telephone conversation osun.life had with a close associate of the former Senator. The source who spoke under anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press, said Omisore is to chair the committee with five former governors as members and other influential personalities in the country.
The former gubernatorial candidate on the platform of Social Democratic Party in 2018 governorship election in the State has consolidated his feet within the All Progressives Congress (APC) hierarchy , a move which has helped him to resuscitate his dwindling political fortunes since 2015 when APC defeated his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party at the presidential election.
Since he formed a coalition with the APC during the September governorship rerun election, Otunba Omisore has used the opportunity to facilitate many new projects to his home town, Ile-Ife, while old ones such as the abandoned Ife Water Dam, worth 10.4 billion naira, Osu-Ife road were also being attended to by the federal government.
