PDP is dead – Senator Omisore

The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore has labelled the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “dead”.

Omisore and other leaders of the party received a rousing welcome from Iwo people, as the party held its Osun West campaign rally in the ancient town on Monday.

In his address to the people, Omisore thanked them for their support and the warm reception, promising that he won’t disappoint the electorate on his campaign promises.

Earlier in Osogbo, he had cleared the air on an insinuation that he had a pact with the PDP to remain in the party, which he said was not true, but a gimmick designed by the opposition to deceive his supporters, saying, “PDP in Osun State died the day I left the party”.

Speaking later on Rave 91.7 FM, Omisore said, “it is now obvious that this election is between Omisore and others, that is why they are using my name for campaign, saying all sorts and associating me with PDP, a party which is already dead in Osun.”

Meanwhile, INEC has released names of forty eight political parties participating in the election slated for September 22.

Names of governorship and deputies governorship candidates were also announced.
