Governorship candidates of the Peoples
Democratic Party and the Labour Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola
Omisore and Alhaji Fatai Akinbade respectively on Saturday shunned a
radio debate organised for them and Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The debate which was organised by a
United States of America-based International Republican Institute was
billed to be broadcast live on Osun State Broadcasting Corporation
Osogbo on Saturday.
Aregbesola, who was said to have gone to
Mecca for the lesser hajj was said to have cut short his trip and
returned to honour the debate but his co-debaters failed to show up.
The Director of Publicity, Research and
Strategy of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Mr. Kunle
Oyatomi, in a statement said Omisore ran away from the debate.
The statement read, “ The PDP’s
gubernatorial candidate in the August 9 election in Osun, Iyiola
Omisore, squandered a golden opportunity to confront the incumbent
governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in a public radio debate when he ran
away from participating.
