A former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore has thrown shade at the gubernatorial aspirants under the All Progressives Congress in Osun State.
Omisore who is also one of the aspirants eyeing the ticket of the party, said those who begged him to contest next year’s gubernatorial election are better than the aspirants who have shown interest under the party.
The former Osun East lawmaker made the claim while addressing local government Vice Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress Vice Chairmen in Osogbo.
Omisore said, “When the race started, I was very careful until former governor Gboyega Oyetola said he was no longer interested.
“After careful consideration, without sounding immodest, I looked at those who have come out to declare their ambition, and I realised that some of the people who even came to ask me to contest are better materials than the other aspirants.”
Ile-Ife-born politician urged the APC Vice Chairmen to make the right decision during the primary of the party, adding that they must not be swayed by promises by some of the aspirants.
“Democracy is a game of numbers. Also, we have the opportunity to make decisions either right or wrong. However, anyone who makes a wrong decision will suffer the consequences alone.
“So, my question to you, vice chairmen, is whether you want a governor in your state or a candidate? The two are different, and the way people in the two categories think differs.
“The moment you start deceiving yourself, your downfall is near. I know some people have been promised some positions by some aspirants,” he added.
