The formal declaration of Senator Christopher Iyiola Omisore
on Saturday, February 8, 2014, to contest the August 9, governorship election
in Osun State on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), no doubt, has
tremendously intensified the tempo of political activity in the state.
The Labour Party (LP) in the state also has an intimidating
aspirant in the person of Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, former Secretary to the State
Government (SSG) under Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola. Though, Akinbade is a
new
entrant into the party, he joined the fold of the party with huge number of PDP
members who were said not comfortable with scheming and manovering in the party. Akinbade’s group might have noticed the handwriting on the wall that a particular aspirant may be given the party’s ticket quickly packed their bags and luggage's to join Labour Party.
But the incumbent Governor, Rauf Aregbesola of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) remain a candidate to beat by any of the
governorship aspirants going by his performances and record of achievements his
administration has recorded in the last three and half years. All sectors of
the state especially road construction, education, health, youth employment,
agriculture, commerce, tourism and culture have felt the impact of the current
administration. All the federal roads in the state have been undertaken by the
state government under its road reconstruction plans.
