The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in Osun State, IYIOLA OMISORE, has said that he opted to support the candidate of the APC, GBOYEGA OYETOLA, in the rerun election in the state because the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party said they did not need his support.

OMISORE said this in Osogbo during a meeting with members of the Social Democratic Party from across the 30 local government areas of the state.

OMISORE, who defected from the PDP to the SDP some months before the election, said that former Vice President ATIKU ABUBAKAR wanted to come and discuss with him before the rerun when he came to Osogbo but he was prevented by the leadership of the PDP in the state.

He said the party opted to support the candidate of the party that was ready to implement the manifestos of the SDP because the party was for the best interest of the majority of the people.
