APC bombs Omisore, accuses him of employment scam

Sen Iyiola Omisore

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate of the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state, Sen. Iyiola Omisore, of employment scam.

The party alleged that the SDP gubernatorial candidate had been circulating fake employment forms to gullible job seekers in the state.

It said that Omisore’s move to give jobs to the unemployed at a time a governorship election was in the offing in the state and not before now was deceptive.

It called on the people of the state to ignore it, describing it as fake.

According to the APC, “If you don’t know it, there is an employment scam in town and the one and only Iyiola Omisore is at it again,” the party said in the statement.

“Just as Omisore did in 2014, he is again circulating a bogus employment form and asking the unemployed to fill.

“This whole damned thing is a scam and the people of Osun should discountenance it,” added.

In reaction, Omisore, however, faulted the APC’s claims, noting that his party’s manifesto centres around human capital development.

According to Omisore, “We are insisting on human capital development in Osun State. The working of any policy and programme is dependent on human capital development.

“Unemployment rate in Osun is high and for us to plan, we want to know the number of unemployed graduates. We want to plan for them.
