Again, Iyiola Omisore’s Guber Ambition in Jeopardy 

It is an understatement to describe the current situation of Senator Iyiola Omisore as being troubled. He is disheartened and depressed, as his long-time ambition to secure the plum job of Osun State is gradually evaporating, while his political career may be on the cliff, just like every other time he had made the attempt.

The ambition of ruling the state seems to have eluded him one way or another every time he aspires for the job. But like a typical politician with incurable optimism, the trained engineer keeps up the hope and courage.

Yet again, the billionaire businessman received another shock penultimate week when a heavy blow was dealt on his ambition after he was suspended from contesting the state governorship election primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is no doubt a severe setback to his age-long ambition, as well as his ‘newly revived’ political ambition. You were all aware that he only recently came back from the political wilderness. This, many in the know of the matter in the state are united in the belief that this could be the final nail to his political coffin.

No one can really put a finger on the reason behind this consistent political misadventure that has trailed him since he left office as a deputy governor.

Well, as many say, maybe he has the trust of his people and top politicians in the state.

Many would recall that Omisore at the beginning of his political trajectory had experienced more roses than thorns until he had a showdown with his boss, marking the beginning of  his political  catastrophe.

He attempted to succeed him but Akande had stood his ground and stopped Omisore from contesting under the then Alliance for Democracy (AD). The war was so fierce and intense that it shook the political foundation of Osun State.

Omisore left AD and pitched his tent with the People’s Democracy Party (PDP), with the hope of flying its umbrella. But the move was akin to a kiss of death despite his heavy financial war chest and popularity.

A source revealed that Omisore, like a fighter and an ambitious man that he is, has taken up the gauntlet and vowed to fight with everything within his possession to save his political career from destruction. He is not taking this lightly at all as he is running from pillar to pole to save his career from heading for the precipice.
