PDP’s governorship candidate in Osun, Sen. Iyiola Omisore has accepted the challenge to an open debate with Gov. Rauf Aregbesola.
The acceptance is contained in a statement given to newsmen in Osogbo recently by Mr Diran Odeyemi, Omisore’s Director of Media Affairs.
Gov. Rauf Aregbesola, APC’s candidate in the Aug. 9 election, had thrown the challenge at the inauguration of Ayegbaju International Market on Tuesday in Osogbo.
However, the statement said the governor must ensure that security prevailed for the debate to take place. “Assurance of safety, among other things, would make Omisore to attend the debate.
“When an argument is being made between two different parties for instance, it may result in physical assault and harassment.
“The senator is a complete gentleman and a holder of PhD. So, we need an assurance that there will be no physical assault on him’’, the statement said. (NAN)
