The former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has reacted to his reported suspension by the Pan Yoruba socio-cultural group, the Afenifere.
Omisore said he was not aware of the suspension, but reiterated his reason for forming a coalition government with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He noted that the group refused to consider that there are active members of APC who are also members of Afenifere.
In a press release personally signed by him on Tuesday, he said: “It was the Osun Social Democratic Party (SDP) that passed a resolution for a coalition agreement with the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is the partyâ€
s supremacy in decision making.
“The Afenifereâ€s action is at variance to the reality on the ground as far as the party politics in Osun State is concerned.
“Iâ€m unaware of the pan-Yoruba groupâ€s directives because we also have bonafide, notable and active APC members in Afenifere.
“The interest of Osun SDP was the development of the state, and of the two parties involved in the rerun election, it was the APC that agreed to implement the SDPâ€s manifestos, the reason the decision was made.
“In as much as Iâ€m a member of Afenifere, SDP members in Osun State are not necessarily members of Afenifere. Osun politics is local and I acted in consonance with the position and the will of Osun SDP.
“However, Iâ€m yet to be informed on the so-called Afenifereâ€s suspension, which as far as Iâ€m concerned bypassed the principle of fair hearing.â€�
