The debate sponsored by the American-based International Republican Institute and put together by the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC) for a live transmission between two front line candidates in the August 9 governorship election could not hold yesterday because of the absence of one of the candidates, Iyiola Omisore.

The debate was expected to hold between the incumbent governor, Rauf Aregebsola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Sen Iyiola Omisore, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate but Omisore did not show up for the event.

The debate only turned out to be almost an interview for Governor Aregbesola where he advanced his mission without any challenge.

Though no official reason was given for his inability to attend the debate, Omisore’s spokesperson, Prince Diran Odeyemi had earlier said in a statement that Omisore could only attend such debate on the ground that there is adequate security.

Maybe we should just leave Omisore alone. This man aint capable

I thought he accepted the challenge few weeks ago? Cartoon.

Omisore but why?

djfaithy: I thought he accepted the challenge few weeks ago? Cartoon.

I tire..

Why are you lying. Even the picture shows that it was supposed to be between apc, pdp and Lp. Lp and pdp shunned the debate for the same reason Buhari and co. Shunned the 2011 debate. Osun Broadcasting commission was obviously sympathetic to aregbesola. If the governor is really honest, he should debate on an unbiased, neutral platform. This further proves that pdp and apc are the same thing.

. Reminds me of 2011 when Gej debated alone. A governor who chooses a state run broadcasting service to debate is obviously afraid of something and goes a long way to show that he isn't even sure of the strength of his manifesto or his performance. Like gej like aregbesola.......But its none of my business

D guilty runs when no one pursue him, but he has no hidden place.
