Credible source informed the Nigerian Tribune that barring any hitch, Omisore, who polled 1,128 votes in the last Saturday gubernatorial
primary, supervised by the former governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Adamu Mohammed Aliero, in Osogbo will get the certificate at the Wadata Plaza, headquarters of the PDP.
The event, which ought to have been held yesterday was said to have been put on hold due to the absence of the PDP chairman, who travelled outside the federal capital territory on official engagement.
Already, a delegation of the Osun State chapter of the PDP, led by the chairman, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, had arrived in Abuja for the ceremony.
Though, one of the PDP governorship aspirants, Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, who boycotted the primary informed newsmen at a gathering in Ede, on Tuesday that his petition and appeal to the electoral panel over alleged malpractices in the primary election which produced Omisore was already receiving the attention of the PDP and the Presidency, Nigerian Tribune gathered that the certificate of return would be presented to Omisore.
Confirming the development to our correspondent, Omisore’s Director of Media and Publicity, Prince Diran Odeyemi said all arrangements had been concluded for Omisore to receive the certificate at the party secretariat.
“I can confirm to you that Omisore would get the certificate of return on Thursday and this is the confirmation of his victory at the last week Saturday primary election held in Osogbo, where he recorded a landslide, polling 1, 128 to defeat others. We have absolute confidence that he would win the August 9 governorship election and rescue Osun people from the shackles of poverty and hopelessness, which had hindered the masses since Aregbesola’s administration in the state.”
