Osun: Omisore hints at next political step, leaves future to God

Former national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, Tuesday said he has left political future for God to decide.

Omisore who spoke to Journalists in Osogbo during a gathering organized by his allies to mark his 69th birthday, said What you should expect next depends on God’s plan for me. Whatever He wants me to do, I will do.”

One of his allies, Hon. Ajibola Famurewa, explained that friends and political allies organized the modest event to honor Omisore, adding that a major celebration is being planned for his 70th milestone.

Famurewa who spoke on the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeat in the August 15 governorship election, attributed the loss to poor leadership and systemic failures within the state chapter.

“Personally, that was an election we were supposed to win, not lose. Unfortunately, the type of leadership we had in the party, coupled with several other factors, was responsible for our defeat. I think we need to look back and critically examine what went wrong,” Famurewa said.

He called for an immediate overhaul of the party structure to restore confidence among members.

“We need to change the leadership of this party, without mincing words. We must restructure the APC and address internal systems to give every member a true sense of belonging. Election day is like a war, and members will only commit fully if they know they have a genuine stake in the outcome.”

Famurewa criticised the current executive setup for fostering division through favoritism and imposition.

“We need a leadership that carries everyone along, not one that selects a few individuals to form a cabal. We must allow elected party executives to function properly,” he added.

He further revealed that party leaders failed to act on the recommendations of an internal review committee headed by former Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole.

“We need to get to the root of the issue,” Famurewa added. “Let us install leaders with the charisma to unite members and the strategic expertise to plan and win elections. Only then will we see positive results,” Famurewa said.
