As the 9 August governorship election in Osun State draws
near, the leading governorship candidates, incumbent Governor, Rauf Aregbesola
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Iyiola Omisore of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, are locked in a war of words over who has the better
credential to run the state.

While Aregbesola lambasted Omisore at a campaign rally in
Ikirun in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the State, warning him not to
over-step his boundary, Omisore fired back at the governor, describing him as a
half-educated person.

Aregbesola also boasted that Omisore was not a threat to him
in any way, adding that ‘as Aregbesola, I have come to rebuild the state for
another four years.’

The governor said at the rally that he had not completed his
mission in the state and told Omisore to behave well before, during and after
the election.

He threatened that Omisore would face the full wrath of the
law if he threatened the peace of the state.

Aregbesola also said he needed another four years to consolidate
APC’s hold on Osun State and send PDP packing from the state at the end of his
second term in 2018.

Responding to Aregbesola, Omisore’s aide, Diran
Odeyemi,  dismissed the governor’s threat
as empty and of no effect, adding that Aregbesola could not equate himself with
Omisore in any way and that the governor was half-educated for him to have made
those remarks.

Following the victory of PDP’s governorship candidate in the
Ekiti State election last Saturday, Omisore, the Osun PDP governorship candidate,
has been upbeat about his chances of defeating Aregbesola in August.

Other PDP stalwarts have equally boasted about reclaiming
Osun and other Southwest States, including Lagos, from APC in August and during
the 2015 general elections.
