elections, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has admitted being
afraid of facing Governor Rauf Aregbesola in a public
debate because the governor could physically hurt him.
Omisore revealed this stunning detail in a recent interview
in Osogbo after Aregbesola challenged the Senator to come
out and debate him.
Omisore admitted he was equally ready for the debate but
he needs assurance he won't be hurt by one
of Aregbesola's state boys and thugs allegedly being raised
by the APC man.
Omisore said, "How can I be afraid of engaging him in a
debate? But when argument is being drawn between two
unequal parties, the weaker of the two may result to
physical assault and harassment. We don't want this to
happen.
"Aregbesola has not hidden the fact that he has personal
hatred for me and people tell me all sorts of lies he
fabricates to disparage me. You don't expect more than
that from a barely literate politician like him.
"You remember that Aregbesola presented O'level to INEC.
So we need an assurance that Ogbeni will not resort to
assault if he is confronted with hard facts with evidence.
"Once we are assured that decorum will be allowed and
that our safety is guaranteed, I am ready for the debate.
"Ogbeni Aregbesola has state boys, a group he is rearing
and going to participate in a debate with violent people
with array of thugs will be too much of a risk to take for us."
Omisore also said that the APC government was corrupt
and was giving out contracts without following due
proceess, failing to honour the provisions of the Procurement
Act.
He said, "Transparency and accountability are very
important in governance. You are put in office based on the
trust of the people. But as soon as the APC government
came on board, Aregbesola scrapped due process. Now,
there is no way you can track down government expenses.
Omisore is representing the Peoples democratic Party and is
running for the Governor position in the upcoming Osun
State gubernatorial elections, and Governor Aregbesola is
going for another term in the Osun state governorship
position.
The August is billed to be held on August 9th and with the
recent Ekiti election won by PDP's Fayose, PDP feels they
have a chance in acquiring the ticket
