OMISORE WILL RETRIEVE HIS STOLEN MANDATE The Osun State Governorship Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore, Wednesday declared that he had confidence in the judiciary to retrieve his ‘stolen’ mandate. Omisore speaking with journalists at the premises of Osun Election Petition Tribunal in Osogbo said that the results of governorship election which returned Governor Rauf Aregbesola was marred with irregularities and manipulations in favour of Aregbesola of APC. While expressing his confidence in the integrity of the judiciary to retrieve what he termed his “stolen mandate” Omisore contended that with the avalanche of evidence available to the PDP and his legal team, the public would be stunned with facts and figures on how the governorship election was massively rigged.

There was obvious malpractices and substantial rigging during the election. It was an open robbery, which cannot stand in the face of incontrovertible evidences that would be presented before the election tribunal”. Ni ipinle Osun, eniyan Iyi ni wa...
