OMISORE’S APC FUTURE: IF THERE IS ANYTHING LEFT TO GET, WILL HE HAVE TO BEG OYETOLA?

By Olalekan Oni

In Nigerian politics, yesterday's kingmakers can become tomorrow's supplicants.

Political power is fluid. Alliances that once appeared unbreakable can collapse overnight, while politicians who once occupied the same table can suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the political divide.

That is the uncomfortable political reality confronting Senator Iyiola Omisore today.

The question that should therefore be asked is not whether Omisore remains a politician of consequence. He certainly does. The more pertinent question is: if Omisore hopes to secure any major political appointment or regain significant influence within the All Progressives Congress, can he realistically do so without rebuilding his relationship with his former political ally and leader, Gboyega Oyetola?

The evidence of the past few years suggests that this is a question Omisore cannot afford to ignore.

OYETOLA AND THE OMISORE POLITICAL COMEBACK

It is now a matter of public record that Oyetola played a significant role in Omisore's political rehabilitation within the APC.

After Omisore backed Oyetola in the 2018 Osun governorship rerun, the relationship between the two men became politically consequential. Omisore subsequently joined the APC in February 2021 and, remarkably, just thirteen months after formally joining the party, emerged as its National Secretary at the 2022 national convention.

Contemporary reports were explicit about Oyetola's role.

National Daily reported that Oyetola was “highly instrumental” to Omisore's emergence as National Secretary, while other reports described Omisore's emergence as a consensus arrangement backed by Oyetola and Bola Tinubu.

Even more revealing is a recent account published by THISDAY, which cited former Oyetola spokesman Ismail Omipidan as saying that Oyetola's intervention was decisive in Omisore's emergence as National Secretary and that Oyetola had helped preserve Omisore's political relevance after his entry into the APC. The same account acknowledged that other South-West leaders, including the late Rotimi Akeredolu and Kayode Fayemi, also played roles.

That history cannot simply be wished away.

FROM POLITICAL PARTNERS TO POLITICAL RIVALS

The irony is that the same political relationship that helped propel Omisore to the national secretariat of the APC has now deteriorated into one of the most consequential disputes within the Osun APC.

Omisore sought the APC governorship ticket for the 2026 election but was disqualified by the party's screening committee. Bola Oyebamiji, a former Oyetola commissioner, subsequently emerged as the APC candidate with Oyetola's backing.

Attempts to reconcile Oyetola and Omisore reportedly failed, with disputes over political appointments, candidate selection and the distribution of opportunities within the party featuring prominently in the disagreement.

Omisore eventually withdrew his legal challenge over his disqualification after stating that the issues had been reconciled.

But the bigger political question remains unresolved:
What is Omisore's next political destination?
This is where the political calculation becomes particularly interesting.

Since President Bola Tinubu came into office, Oyetola's appointment as Minister of Marine and Blue Economy has significantly strengthened his institutional position. Recent reporting has described him as a major political gatekeeper for federal appointments from Osun.

Indeed, an Osun APC stakeholders' forum recently accused Oyetola of having considerable influence over federal appointments and listed numerous Osun politicians occupying federal positions whom the group associated with his political camp. The group demanded a more inclusive approach to federal appointments following the APC's defeat in the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

That controversy itself demonstrates the extent to which Oyetola's influence has become a subject of political discussion within the Osun APC.
And this is precisely why Omisore's political future becomes fascinating.

If virtually every serious political actor understands that federal appointments are ultimately products of political relationships, influence, loyalty and access, can Omisore realistically expect a major federal appointment while remaining politically estranged from one of the most influential APC figures from Osun?

That is the elephant in the room.

THE HARD TRUTH FOR OMISORE

Omisore has occupied powerful positions before.
He has been a deputy governor.
He has been a senator.
He has been National Secretary of the APC.
He has also demonstrated that he possesses some fragmented political network in Osun.

But his political capital depreciates when it is not converted into contemporary influence.

The 2026 APC governorship primary exposed this vulnerability. Omisore was disqualified from the contest, while the candidate backed by Oyetola eventually secured the ticket.

Then came the August 15 governorship election.
Accord defeated APC, and even Omisore's own polling unit in Ife East went to Accord, with 131 votes against APC's 85, despite Omisore having publicly endorsed the APC candidate.

While one polling unit does not determine a politician's entire political worth; Omisore went ahead and lost his 3 out of 4 local governments within his domain.

But politics is about perception as much as numbers.
And the perception now emerging is that Omisore's political leverage within the APC especially in Ile Ife is nowhere near what it was when he occupied the National Secretary's office.

There is a delicious irony in the entire episode.
Omisore once needed Oyetola to help open the door of the APC establishment for him.

He eventually became National Secretary of the same party.
For a period, he occupied a position from which he could influence political decisions at the national level.

Today, however, the political balance has changed.

Oyetola is now a federal minister and remains one of the most prominent APC political figures from Osun. Omisore, on the other hand, is a former National Secretary who has just suffered a major setback in his attempt to secure the party's governorship ticket.

This is why the argument that “if Omisore will ever get anything in the APC again, he will have to beg Oyetola” resonates with many observers of Osun politics.

The more precise description is reconciliation, negotiation and a rebuilding of political trust.

But if Omisore wants another major federal appointment, a strategic party position or a meaningful role in the APC's future political architecture, it would be politically naive to pretend that Oyetola's influence does not matter.

And Omisore, for all his recent setbacks where he lost 3 elections back to back will have to succumb to Oyetola.

SO, WHO WILL BLINK FIRST?

That is perhaps the most intriguing question.

Will Omisore swallow his pride and return to the negotiating table with the man whose political intervention helped revive his career within the APC?
Or will he attempt to rebuild his political relevance through an alternative route?

And if Omisore truly wants to return to the centre of the APC's political architecture, the road back may well pass through the door of Gboyega Oyetola.

The only question is whether he will knock or wait for the door to open itself.

Omisore: The “Atiku Osun” Who Lost 19 of 22 Polling Units in His Ward

• How personal ambition may have undermined APC in Ife

By Emmanuel Kupoluyi

The last governorship election in Osun State, where incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke was said to have won 19 local government areas while the APC won in 11, has thrown up a lot of conversations regarding the commitment and loyalty of the party machinery to progressive ideals.

Many leaders of the party in Osogbo and Ife are said to have worked against the interest of the party, believing that this is their surest path to realising their personal ambitions, shrouded under a community-based “Osogbo Agenda” or “Ife Agenda.”

They fear that allowing the APC candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly called AMBO, from Osun West Senatorial District, to become governor would mean conceding a total of 12 years to Osun West, having regard to the fact that Governor Adeleke, who is also from Osun West, has already spent four years in the saddles.

The proponents of the zoning arrangement believed that unless Adeleke was allowed to complete his second term, thereby giving them an opportunity to become governor in 2030, they would have to wait until 2034 to try their luck—a gamble they were not prepared to take.

One of the leaders of the APC in the state, Otunba Iyiola Omisore, is said to be the arrowhead of the anti-party activities in Ifeland, where he hails from.
The APC lost in his Ife East Local Government, his Moore Ward 1 and his St. Gabriel Primary School Polling Unit. In fact, the APC lost in 19 of the 22 polling units in Omisore’s ward.

This write-up will focus on him and return to the political quislings in Osogbo in subsequent write-ups.

Otunba Iyiola Omisore, whom many people describe pejoratively as “Atiku Osun,” in a reference to former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's long time struggle to become Nigeria's president, has been a perennial aspirant for the governorship of Osun State. He has contested and struggled to become governor since 1995, during the military era.

Omisore does not possess the political strength he touts to have. He lost three elections in a row since 2011. The only credible election he has ever won in his entire political career was the one he contested alongside Chief Bisi Akande in 1999.

He was in Agodi Prison in 2003 over the alleged murder of Chief Bola Ige when he was declared the winner of the Osun East Senatorial District election. The election was, however, fraught with allegations of electoral malpractice.

He was also declared winner in 2007, but the election was declared null and void by the court over massive rigging and violence.

In 2011, he contested for the Senate under the PDP but was trounced by Senator Jide Omoworare. Omisore polled 51,315 votes, while Omoworare polled 119,852 votes, a margin of over 60,000 votes.

He was defeated by the APC governorship candidate in 2014 by a wide margin of 100,047 votes when he again contested under the PDP. In 2018, he came a distant third before he was brought into the APC by some "Abuja politicians" and subsequently rehabilitated by the party.

He was appointed National Secretary of the party in March 2022 but was abruptly removed in July 2023, allegedly over issues surrounding the management of the APC’s finances.

Since his removal, he has become bitter with anything APC, President Bola Tinubu or former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, despite all the efforts by Oyetola to tolerate and accommodate him.

Notwithstanding his combative posture towards Oyetola, there have been claims that Oyetola gave him a lucrative contract at the Nigerian Ports Authority, allegedly serving as a financial buffer for him.

Against the advice of national and state leaders of the party, who reportedly felt that security reports concerning his academic and political history did not favour him, he went ahead to contest the last APC governorship primary but was subsequently disqualified.

A petition sent to the APC Elders Forum seeking Omisore’s disqualification, signed by Alex Eluwole from Ife Central and four other persons, may have been the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

In the petition, the group wanted Agba Osun to investigate the truthfulness of grave allegations made against Omisore in Chief Bisi Akande’s book, "My Participations."

In the book, Chief Akande wrote, among other things:
“…when four Peugeot 504 cars were being given to every governor-elect by the military authority as take-off transport needs to the governor before inauguration, Iyiola Omisore was said to have used my name without my authority to collect the four cars from the then Osun State Secretary to the Government, Elder Femi Adelowokan. He sent one to me and appropriated three to himself. I then requested for the other three cars. After a while, he claimed one was snatched by robbers on the way to Cotonou in Benin Republic and that another had a serious accident. So, he never brought the remaining three cars.”

The petitioners said this excerpt raised serious issues requiring verification by the party’s highest moral and disciplinary organ.

They also said Chief Akande alleged in his book that there were controversies surrounding the authenticity of Iyiola Omisore’s academic certificates.

Quoting the book, they said:
“In 1998, I called Iyiola Omisore and his friend, Kunle Alao alias ‘Lele’, to my cousin’s pharmacy store named Adetola Chemists at Igbona area of Osogbo. I made it clear to Iyiola that the general perception of the party leadership was that he was a suspected advanced fee fraudster and a certificate forger. I made references to some of the cases against him in courts, including that of Col. Laoye from Ede.

“I said, however, that no one had told me if he had ever been convicted of any crime. I declared to him that I was prepared to let him be part of the AD governorship ticket but warned him to ensure that he completed the necessary forms with honesty and sincerity. I begged him to include and attach only his genuine educational qualifications and certificates. ‘If it is only Primary Six certificate you have, that is the one you should use,’ I told him.

‘Please, don’t use any certificate that is forged,’ I pleaded.

“He said his certificates were burnt during the Ife-Modakeke crisis.”

The petitioners also wanted the Elders Forum to investigate allegations made by Hon. Rotimi Makinde, a former APC member of the House of Representatives in 2011.

Hon. Rotimi Makinde was said to have publicly alleged in a media interview that Otunba Iyiola Omisore was responsible for the deaths of two of his cousins in Ile-Ife.

According to Makinde:
“I gave the identities of these assassins to the police, including the description of the two vehicles they cruise about town in, which belong to Omisore. Still, no arrest was made. When my residence was attacked two days later, the assassins came from the same place where they held the earlier meeting.”

So, the disqualification of Omisore was desirable to preserve the sacredness of the party's ticket. If he had been handed the ticket, it would have posed legal encumbrances to the party.

There were also allegations before the primaries that he and his key lieutenants were in talks with Governor Adeleke on how to undermine the APC before they would later move to the Accord Party.

That was what eventually happened. His known men moved to the Accord Party.

It was learnt that the APC governorship candidate, AMBO, made several overtures to him, but he declined, allegedly claiming that AMBO was too small to interface with him.

Some national leaders of the party were drafted to appease him and persuade him to work for the party. He reportedly assured them of his commitment to the emergence of the party’s candidate, a development that led the party to mobilise him with logistics funds for the election. But he reportedly directed his supporters to vote for Adeleke.

The recent results from his wards, where APC lost 19 units out of 22 units, are a clear attestation to the allegation that Omisore did not work for the party in the election:

Unit 1: Accord — 261, APC — 92
Unit 2: Accord — 207, APC — 75
Unit 3: Accord — 131, APC — 85
Unit 4: Accord — 166, APC — 94
Unit 5: Accord — 135, APC — 129
Unit 6: Accord — 221, APC — 122
Unit 7: Accord — 60, APC — 29
Unit 8: Accord — 21, APC — 24
Unit 9: Accord — 185, APC — 101
Unit 10: Accord — 297, APC — 90
Unit 11: Accord — 254, APC — 144
Unit 12: Accord — 190, APC — 85
Unit 13: Accord — 123, APC — 70
Unit 14: Accord — 218, APC — 68
Unit 15: Accord — 137, APC — 54
Unit 16: Accord — 166, APC — 90
Unit 17: Accord — 213, APC — 120
Unit 18: Accord — 249, APC — 92
Unit 19: Accord — 188, APC — 108
Unit 20: Accord — 153, APC — 134
Unit 21: Accord — 34, APC — 49
Unit 22: Accord — 37, APC — 47.

Do I need to say more?

Omisore: when political ambition turns into bitterness

By Emmanuel Kupoluyi

The impeached former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, some hours ago shared a video on his WhatsApp status apparently aimed at mocking the former Governor of Osun State, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, blaming the marine and blue economy minister for the electoral disappointment suffered by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the August 15 election.

In the Yoruba Ewi rendition, Omisore is portrayed as an “elephant” and a political megastar who, if given the opportunity, would have delivered victory for the APC in the last election. There is no derogatory name under the sun that the maker of the video does not hurl at former Governor Oyetola.

What Omisore and the other Trojan horses behind that distasteful video appear unwilling to acknowledge, however, is that Oyetola towers over Omisore by miles in terms of political achievement and public office. Oyetola served as Governor of Osun State. Omisore has never been Governor of the state.

The reality Omisore has continued to struggle to come to terms with is that Oyetola enjoys considerable goodwill across Osun State, including in Ifeland, where Omisore claims his roots.

In fact, in the 2018 governorship election when Omisore was on the ballots, Oyetola won two of the four local government areas in Ifeland: Ife North and Ife South, the ancestral home of Omisore, where his late father was a traditional ruler at the time.

So, why is Omisore so bitter about the grace and political relevance God Almighty has bestowed upon Oyetola?

Rather than engaging in needless mockery and sponsoring distasteful propaganda, Omisore should perhaps come to terms with the reality that political relevance is earned through service, performance and the goodwill of the people---not through self-praise.

What is the bragging right of the political Methuselah? In the last election, he lost 19 of the 22 polling units in his Moore Ward in Ife East, a clear indication that he was either not on ground or he was involved in anti-party activities.

Omisore has been a perennial aspirant for the governorship of Osun State. He has contested and struggled to become governor since 1995, during the military era.

Omisore does not possess the political strength he touts to have. He lost three elections in a row since 2011. The only credible election he has ever won in his entire political career was the one he contested alongside Chief Bisi Akande in 1999.

He was in Agodi Prison in 2003 over the alleged murder of Chief Bola Ige when he was declared the winner of the Osun East Senatorial District election. The election was, however, fraught with allegations of electoral malpractice.

He was also declared winner in 2007, but the election was declared null and void by the court over massive rigging and violence.

In 2011, he contested for the Senate under the PDP but was trounced by Senator Jide Omoworare. Omisore polled 51,315 votes, while Omoworare polled 119,852 votes, a margin of over 60,000 votes.

He was defeated by the APC governorship candidate in 2014 by a wide margin of 100,047 votes when he again contested under the PDP. In 2018, he came a distant third before he was brought into the APC by some "Abuja politicians" and subsequently rehabilitated by the party.

He was appointed National Secretary of the party in March 2022 but was abruptly removed in July 2023, allegedly over issues surrounding the management of the APC’s finances.

Since his removal, he has become bitter with anything APC, President Bola Tinubu or former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, despite all the efforts by Oyetola to tolerate and accommodate him.

Notwithstanding his combative posture towards Oyetola, there have been claims that Oyetola gave him a lucrative contract at the Nigerian Ports Authority, allegedly serving as a financial buffer for him.

So why is "Atiku Osun" bitter, paranoid and running amok like a frustrated bulldog over Oyetola?

Wike: I'll deliver Rivers, FCT for Tinubu without APC campaign council role

Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says he does not need a role in the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council before working for President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid.

Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), spoke on Saturday after inspecting some ongoing projects in the FCT, saying membership of the campaign council does not guarantee electoral victory.

Politics is a game of interests and alliances. What matters most is whether these coalitions can translate into better governance, stronger institutions and improved living conditions for Nigerians.

Atiku Abubakar: a serial contestant. Atiku should just drop his presidential ambition. How could someone be telling Nigerians that he will return the petrol fuel subsidy. Is that not confusion niii.

BREAKING: Dipo Awojide @OgbeniDipo Demands ₦50m Over Alleged Defamation

Dr. Dipo Awojide, popularly known as “Ogbeni Dipo,” has, through his lawyers, demanded an immediate retraction, public apology and ₦50 million compensation from Governor Ademola Adeleke's aide, Mr. Bankole Omisore @MrBanksOmisore over alleged defamatory publications made on X.

The legal demand accuses Omisore of making false claims about Awojide, including allegations of theft, being fired from a UK job, working as an airport security man and falsely presenting himself as a lecturer.

According to the lawyers, the posts generated over 500,000 impressions and allegedly caused serious damage to their client’s reputation.

The letter gives Omisore an opportunity to settle the matter, failing which further legal action may follow.

Stop Flooding Media Space With False AI-generated Guber Results

- Osun APC Cautions Adeleke, Accord Party

The state chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC has cautioned the members and supporters of the Accord Party to desist from feeding the members of the public with the false results of the election.

It is disheartening that the members and supporters of the Accord Party in the state could brazenly descend to the dangerous arena of criminally and illegally assuming the role of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by declaring fake election results from the various wards in the state.

It is a statement of fact that INEC is the only corporate body constitutionally empowered to conduct and duly declare the results of the election which translates to the fact that election results from other sources from the national election umpire could be described as an illegality.

The members of the public should therefore keep watch of the misinformation about the governorship results as such is capable of plunging the state into avoidable crisis.

It is equally important for the police to urgently delve into the matter in order to make some of those publishing the falsehoods through the social media scapegoats.

A keen watcher of the development would agree with the observation and conclusion that the publication of the false election results by the Accord Party members and supporters was a prearranged and co-ordinated exercise by the handlers of the Accord Party in the state to cause confusion.

For God sake, why is it impossible for the Accord Party handlers to play politics by the rules as the INEC has been warning copiously that it wasn't the business of anyone other than the national electoral umpire to release and declare the election results.

Governor Ademola Adeleke should be held responsible should there be a post-election crisis which is being stylishly promoted by the governor and his co-travellers, as findings showed that some of the disgruntled politicians of the Accord Party extraction have illegally enlisted the services of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to cause political crisis in the state with special reference to the churning out of fake election results.

We are enjoining our members and supporters in the state and beyond to continue to go about their businesses in peace and refuse to be distracted by the illegal activities of the political bandits who are hell-bent in plunging the state into avoidable political crisis for selfish reasons.
