gratiaeo:
I don't see Aregbesola a refrigerator repairer challenging this man in an open debate

felifeli:

All that the APC/ACN internet thugs are good for is character assassination and trying to intimidate other people with baseless violent accusations. Just imagine people saying over and over again that Omisore killed Bola Ige as if they saw him do it. Very regrettable from people who call themselves progressive. Of course many people thought Omisore didn't even go to school at all because the lying "progressives" have in their usual violent style been all over the world telling everyone that he is a common illiterate thug. Never mind we shall see the results of your shameless campaign in August. All of una go chop poison like somebody like this.

texaco1: I just pray that apc is defeated in lagos state by any party and the fraud committed there by apc is exposed,that is when ppl will know the kind of politicians they have been calling progressives.

Bash92: So who are you voting for.

gratiaeo:
I don't see Aregbesola a refrigerator repairer challenging this man in an open debate

gboss4sure: Surely his resume is impressive. And I am impressed. Unlike APC members and leaders who are certificate forgers with nuothing upstairs. Toronto certificate .

APC knows nothing apart from slander.

MrMcJay:

What of the 20 Billion USD Creek Joe cornered?
Ever heard of the Malabu oil deal?
Kerosene subsidy nko?

Anytime U hear Lagos, u always get an ere.cti.on. Na so d tin hold u reach?

Mind you, Aregbe would beat Omisore like Brazil. You can take that to the bank.

FruityLass: The gods are yet to speak.

gratiaeo:
I don't see Aregbesola a refrigerator repairer challenging this man in an open debate

berem: Assurance of safety? What is he afraid of, or is Bola Ige's ghost haunting him?

Omisore,if you like eat one bag of roasted corn during the debate,it won't erase the fact that you're a murderer and a loser in the waiting!

texaco1: there is nothing bad about his pastt,he was accused of a crime ,taken to court and found not guilty.so don't we trust the law courts again?no evidence was found to link him to the crime he was accused of ,unlike aregbe who has many forgery accusations levelled against him. Do a google search on aregbesola and see the number of charges and accusations against him. Even tinubu has a fake certificate infact that apc party is a fake party

expert101: [size=18pt]Wonders shall never cease to happen. I thought Osun State and Ekiti State have intellectuals who are learned. Why are they not coming out to contest elections to rule their people.
Nigeria with their fish brain- this man Omisore has so many allegations and murder charges hanging around him; most especially for master minding the killing of Attorney General -Justice Minister years back.

How could Yoruba people start allowing people with bad records start contesting and winning elections when they should be in the prisons.

I was surprised seeing Fayose win after all the allegations and billions he stole, if this man(Omisore) wins I don't think there is hope for good governance in Nigeria.

We must come out to shun evil.

Long Live Nigeria![/size]

1wolex85:
You said he was taken to court and no evidence was found, please remind your pdp goons that bola tinubu also appeared before the code of conduct bureau and was found not guilty, yet you pdp guys say he is corrupt.

Also, are you guys really brandishing cvs? Where were you during the ekiti elections? Why didnt you compare fayemi and fayose cvs?

Double standard people.

texaco1: there is nothing bad about his pastt,he was accused of a crime ,taken to court and found not guilty.so don't we trust the law courts again?no evidence was found to link him to the crime he was accused of ,unlike aregbe who has many forgery accusations levelled against him. Do a google search on aregbesola and see the number of charges and accusations against him. Even tinubu has a fake certificate infact that apc party is a fake party

marv1: Nigerians forget too soon. Was it not a phd holder that was defeated in ekiti state as incubent gov by an hnd holder. Winning electn or ruling a state is nt by having phd. Its even an avenue to steal frm d poor and give to d elites. Is it a man that is moving about with masked body guards that is going govern a state. Pdp shud do better than this and nt sentiments and osun state people shud be diserning. Trouble is loom in that state but God forbid.

texaco1: typical apc argument,always trying to deviate from normal thing. Who is talking about ekiti elections now? Your apc governor threw up a challenge which the pdp candidate has accepted, pdp has brought out its candidate cv for the ppl of osun state to see the 7up difference between their candiidate and urs , but you guys are scared shiit to even look it up on google talkless of showing it to people. If the good ppl of ekiti demanded for cv believe me fayose will have something to present. Aregbe was never an engineer as claimed by u guys but if u can defend his been an engineer tthen please do

Firefire: .
Achievement
He is the best Governor Osun State has ever produced since the creation of osun state
O'schools O'Yes O'Ambulances O'Meals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauf_Aregbesola

Neyoor:

So, the PDP mumu is nt even from Osun state, no wonder he is saying jargon. Having that coloured CV doesn't guarantee him of been elected.

We're not fools in Osun state, by August 9 we shall determine his faith at the poll. Infact Aregbe didn't go to school atall. Mumu of the highest order
