The Osun State Police Command, on Sunday ordered the cancellation of the rally organised by loyalists of Senator Iyiola Omisore,a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, and dispersed members of his campaign group within the three senatorial districts in the state.
According to THIS DAY LIVE, police combed the Government Technical College, Osogbo, venue of the rally organised by the Omisore Youths Support Forum (OYSF) as early as 9.05a.m., disallowed the rally from holding at the college which was earlier booked for the event.
The coordinator of OYSF in the state, Mr. Felix Fadipe, said the principal of the college had approved the use of the college football field for the rally upon the payment of N20,000 by the organisation.
Fadipe described the development as unpatriotic of the police saying “We were denied the opportunity to organize a rally in our state in a democratic era. This shows intolerance on the part of the powers-that-be in the state".
Chief Adekunle Alao, former Commissioner for Agriculture in the state, also condemned the development, saying "Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s days are numbered in the state, Omisore would take over from Aregbesola come 2014".
