Osun 2018: New twists in struggle for PDP guber ticket

-

The struggle for the governorship ticket of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State ahead of the 2018 governorship election is gathering momentum. Assistant Editor, Dare Odufowokan, reports that the lingering intra party crisis and the entrance of a couple of new aspirants into the race may be unsettling permutations in the race to determine who flies the banner of the opposition party in 2018.

Permutations in some quarters within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state seem to be crumbling as the 2018 governorship election in the state draws nearer. The opposition party, which has left no one in doubt of its desire to oust the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the government house during the forthcoming election, already parades a number of aspirants working hard to take over from outgoing Governor Rauf Aregbesola.




Although the PDP in Osun state is still bedeviled by a lingering leadership crisis which has seen the party divide into two camps, the struggle for its governorship ticket is one of the most talked about things across the state today following the announcement of election date by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Not a few chieftains of the party believe the PDP stands a good chance of winning the next governorship contest in the state.

Consequently, even before INEC blew the whistle signaling the commencement of political hostilities ahead of the 2018 election, the party has never been lacking in governorship aspirants. The likes of former deputy Governor, Iyiola Omisore, former deputy governorship candidate, Adejare Bello, former federal legislator, Lere Oyewunmi and Dr. Kayode Oduoye, had long before now, signified interest in the race for the ticket.
