The Elders’ Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has welcomed the former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, to the party.
A statement by the Chairman of Osun State APC Elders’ Caucus, Chief Sola Akinwumi, welcomed Omisore to the party.
He called for peace among key players in the party.
The statement said: “Democracy is a dynamic system of government by the people and for the people. The fundamental basis of this system of government is hinged on the fact that every citizen above a stipulated age as may be provided by the constitution of such country is qualified to join or register as a member of any political party of his/ her choice.
”The recent registration of Senator Omisore and thousands of his followers from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as members of our great party, the APC in Osun State, is welcomed. Senator Omisore’s political sagacity and dexterity cannot be underestimated in Osun’s political map, especially with the calibre of personalities with which he’s joining the APC. He’s coming with former ministers, ex-ambassadors, former DG of parastatals, ex-commissioners and former lawmakers.
“For posterity reason, the positive roles of Senator Omisore as a strong financial stakeholder prior to and during the 1999 general election under the Alliance for Democracy (AD) remain evergreen. His recent registration as a member of the APC further affirms a glorious reunion with other members of an old political family. He is herein called upon to bring to bear his political sagacity towards ensuring the stability of our party.
“Politics anywhere in the world is a game of number. As such, the upsurge in the volume of party members through this ongoing party membership registration and revalidation is a fundamental parameter and pointer to some incontrovertible qualities of Governor Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, who doubles as the party leader in Osun State as par provision of APC constitution of 2014 as amended. Such transparent qualities are accessibility, approachability, calmness, tenderness, inclusiveness of variant useful ideas and party-based agenda pursuit.
“It should, however, be stressed that the spirit of sportsmanship should guide every key player in this face-lifting time to ensure the optimum benefit of such upsurge in the membership of our party translates to electoral victory in future elections,” he said.
