Bring It On: Ogbeni Aregbesola Challenges Iyiola Omisore To A Debate by Nobody: 6:03pm On Jul 08, 2014 |
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, at the inauguration of Ayegbaju International Modern Market in Osogbo on Monday, challenged the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore, to a public debate ahead of the August 9 governorship election. The governor, speaking in Yoruba, said that he had done in four years what the PDP didn’t achieve in over seven years that they ruled the state, saying that he had outclassed the “poor quality jobs” the past PDP administration did while in office. Aregbesola said, “Call them, let us debate on what we have to offer to the people. It can be for one hour or more. Ask them to come and let us debate. They are free to choose whether to be the first to talk or to be the last. I don’t care about that but let them come and let us talk.” The governor, pegging the cost of the market at N2.3bn, said the people’s poverty due to their inability to trade was over with the construction of the market. He said commercial activities in Nigeria were “disjointed, disconnected and disarticulated,” stressing that people could trade their ways out of poverty into wealth and prosperity. He said, “If only we can do this, Nigeria has no business being poor. We have for far too long remained a country of potential wealth. We need to get our acts together, hang together, and begin to get truly wealthy. “With a population of well over 167m our prospects for wealth creation is simply stupendous. Let us take a look around us, even our small state of Osun is home to a few million people who all require one or two goods or services, from one-day-old babies to fully grown adults. Even the dead have needs that must be met.” About the debate, Punch reports that efforts to reach gubernatorial hopeful Iyiola Omisore were unsuccessful. A text message to his media aide, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, went unreplied. 2 Likes |
