Just about 24 hours after the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose won the governorship election in Ekiti state, Senator Iyiola Omisore, another governorship candidate of the party in the August 9 election in Osun State has stated that he was prepared to take over the reign of power in his state.
While jubilating Fayose's victory, Omisore said it was a sign of total rejection of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-west.
According to him, "We are taking over the government of Osun State in 49 days. I can assure you that by God's grace, on August 10, we will have cause to celebrate"
"Obviously, you can go and see what is happening in that state now. There is total rejection of APC in my state. Today, APC has only been able to touch about five per cent of peoples' lives.
"All you see on papers and televisions are not on ground. Bad roads everywhere, no water, no facility, nothing to show for it. Workers are not being paid, schools are closed, teachers and pensioners are not paid, retirees are not paid. So, there is a general consensus of exit of APC in Ekiti and Osun States for now and probably in the South-west in the next few month," Omisore said.
On the victory of his party in Ekiti state at the weekend, Omisore stated that the success of the election was made possible through the effort of security agents who were in control before and during the election.
He added that both local and foreign observers adjudged the election as very free and fair, and cannot be compared to any recent elections in Nigeria. He noted that such was made possible because "about 1,500 APC thugs were arrested at different locations. That made it possible for us to have a very good election. Had it been that security was not provided, there
would have been confusion everywhere" Omisore added.
