The Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore has labelled members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a bunch of liars and deceptors for allegedly misleading the people about his plans to revert to the PDP.
He added that he would never compromise his ambition to become the next governor of the state for the antics of the PDP.
Omisore, who spoke on a Yoruba radio programme, “Oro Oselu” on Rave F. M. on Monday, was critical of the present administration in the areas of workers’ welfare and infrastructure.
“They keep calling me every now and then. Trying to convince me to come back to the party. I know they are not confident in their candidate and I see no reason why they keep misleading the people that I am still coming back to them.
“The very day I left PDP, they became defeated because when I was in Alliance for Democracy, they won no election until I joined them and now, I have already left them so you all should watch out for what will happen in 2018.”
Omisore, was however boastful of his chances in the forthcoming gubernatorial election, saying the election was between him and others. He said he was more qualified than every other candidates going into the election.
He added that governance was about experience and not a training ground where mistakes could go.
“20 years ago, I was the Deputy Governor of this state during the Chief Bisi Akande’s administration and my experience from that period onward cannot be matched by any candidate contesting in this election. I have been a Senator for several years,” he enthused.
The SDP candidate also emphasized that the issue of salary should be treated as priority by any well meaning government, especially in a state that was so dependent on Civil Servants.
He decried the rate at which workers in the state are being ravaged by poverty due to government’s negligence of their welfare.
According to the Omisore, “My contributions towards ensuring that the workers are paid as and when due when I was the Deputy Governor of the state cannot be overemphasized. The money owed workers is akin to a bank loan, which must be refunded. When preparing budgets, salaries and wages are usually first charge because the dead cannot drive nor ply the most beautiful road.”
