One of the performing governor in Nigeria who sure knows how to
articulate his projects and policies that have impacted positively on
the lives of the people is Governor Rauf Aregbesola. So, it takes a lot
of guts for any one to come out for a debate with him.
Governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour
Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore and Alhaji Fatai
Akinbad, both stayed away on Saturday from a radio debate organised for
them and Governor 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.
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.
