I Don’t Know What Has Turned His Head — Fani-Kayode Reacts To Omisore’s Decision To Support APC

Abuja, Nigeria News 26th September, 2018: A Former Minister of Aviation and a Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to the decision of the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, to work for the ruling All Progressives Congress in tomorrow’s rerun election in Osun State.

Fani-Kayode said Senator Iyiola Omisore’s decision to support the APC in tomorrow’s rerun is shameful, adding that “it is sad that he would seek to deny Ile-Ife the position of Deputy Governor simply for money.”

Omisore had earlier rejected offers to work for either the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) or the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding that what is paramount to him is the practice of true democracy in Osun State.

Omisore had earlier firmly stated that he will never renege on his promise of good governance, accountability and human dignity in Osun state.

He earlier said, “I am telling my people that they should go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for; good governance, social justice and accountability. I have already detailed how we planned to restore Osun to the path of good governance through the five thematic pillars in the manifesto I shared during the electioneering. I will not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people.”

However he made a u-turn thereafter and declared to support the APC. In a statement at Ile-Ife on Wednesday, Omisore said, “We have accepted to support the APC for victory in the rerun election tomorrow and thereafter form a coalition government.”

Fani-Kayode slammed the former Osun deputy governor for reversing his stand and supporting the APC. . hE SAID, “I do not know what has turned his head but we shall forge ahead and by God’s grace Adeleke will win.”

Read His Full Statement:

“Iyiola Omisore’s decision to support the APC in tomorrow’s rerun is shameful. It is sad that he would seek to deny Ile-Ife the position of Deputy Governor simply for money.

“He told me he would stand firm two days ago and he told our leader and father Baba Ayo Adebanjo the same thing last night.

“I do not know what has turned his head but we shall forge ahead and by God’s grace Adeleke will win. There is no excuse or justification for joining or supporting those who treated our people like filth and slaves over the last 8 years and who rigged last Saturday’s election.”
