OSOGBO—A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Senator Iyiola Omisore, was yesterday, commended by leaders of the party for the truce he brokered among the warring factions of the party in Osun State.
Omisore was commended after bringing together the Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Senator Alli Modu Sheriff factions of the PDP in the state.Giving an insight into how Omisore was able to achieve the feat, a close associate of the Senator, who craved for anonymity, said: “Otunba Omisore had not been happy with the retrogressive state of the socio-economic life of Osun State under the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and he believed if the disunity in the PDP at both state and national level is allowed to continue, the party will keep losing all elective positions and the end losers will remain the people.
Commending Omisore for the rare feat, Ibadan politician and former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, described Omisore’s peace initiative as “very impressive and statesmanlike saying the party must come together to win elective posts.
He said: “If we refuse to embrace peace at state and national levels, that is the end; we all go and look for another job, it’s as simple as that. We must now work to see how the Omisore model can be applied to other states with protracted issues of fictionalisation.”
Also commending his rare feat, a Professor of Political Economy from the University of East London, Professor Isaac A. Coker, poured encomium on Senator Omisore for his ability to foster unity within the PDP factional leaders and among aggrieved members of the party in the state.
