When you look at the Political life of Senator Dr. Iyiola Omisore, and you can be assured he is nothing but a destabilizer in any party he found himself.

If you ask Omisore, who I will easy call a political harlot, what his biggest ambition is, I am sure he would confirm that it is governing Osun State. A dream he has failed to actualise multiple times since the advent of this republic.

Over the years, his perpetual failure at clinching the number one job in the state has remained a conundrum to many observers of the political development in the state, particularly, as he is regarded as a political heavy weight. But with his series of political losses, many doubt if he is a real gladiator or a mere paper tiger.

Omisore has switched political parties multiple times in his desperate and frantic bid to govern Osun. From Alliance for Democracy (AD) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and now All Progressives Congress (APC).

In the 2018 governorship election where he contested under the SDP, he came third in the race with 128,049 votes. The former Osun East Senator became the political beautiful bride as the election between now incumbent, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, headed into a re-run in some areas.
Omisore, who was facing several charges by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, took the offer from the APC In 2018 as he was allegedly promised a soft landing in his case with the anti-graft agency. The supposed offer was that; his seized travel passport would be released, his case with the anti-graft agency dismissed and his frozen bank account unfrozen.

In the long run, he pitched his tent with Oyetola and the APC won by a narrow margin.

Some sources have said part of the deal with Oyetola was that when Oyetola finishes serving his second term as governor, he would support Omisore to succeed him. It however appears the former Osun Deputy Governor is on the verge of being disappointed as a top force in the state's APC; former governor Rauf Aregebesola, the Minister for Interior, said the party will never be 'hijacked by murderers'.

I recall that the only dent on Omisore's reputation is his alleged involvement in the cold-blooded murder of former Justice Minister and Attorney-General, Chief Bola Ige, an allegation Omisore has debunked severally.

With the recent political play in Osun State, most especially with the faceoff between Governor Oyetola and Aregbesola, it seems Omisore's defection is near. 

Omisore came to APC because of his selfish interest and over ambitious, i can tell you categorically that Omisore will live APC when he realise he can't get what he want, his track record shows that he can never be trusted with anything sensitive in the party because he will end up destroying the party if he realise the game is not favouring him. 

Omisore don't have the locust standing to become the Next National secretary of APC, he should be hiding his face in shame.
