Iyiola Omisore dumps PDP

A former deputy governor of Osun state, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has reportedly dumped Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Though, Omisore is yet to officially make public his decision to leave the party, Daily Trust reports that his supporters were on Thursday, April 5, seen burning flags of the PDP.

It learnt that his decision to leave the PDP was prompted by his governorship ambition in the September 22 gubernatorial election in the state.

Omisore was said to have held a meeting with his supporters who were eager to know the new party he would take them to. However, the chairman of PDP in the state, Soji Adagunodo, described the action of Omisore as hasty and needless. Similarly, the deputy national publicity secretary of the PDP, Prince Diran Odeyemi said Omisore’s action was unfortunate.

Vanguard newspaper quoted him as saying, ”It is unfortunate that Otunba (Omisore) is making a wrong political decision. He should have learned from those who left PDP and came back. 

“In politics, you don’t win all the time. So, if he does not have his way this time around, it does not mean he cannot make his way some other time. It’s his decision anyway.”
