Omisore Is A Shameless Liar, Owing Us Tax – Gov. Aregbesola

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state is yet in a war of words with the Former Deputy Governor of his state and one-time Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Iyiola Omisore.

Aregbesola maintained that the Senator is a tax defaulter, who is still owning Osun state since he last paid in 2013.

According to a statement in Osogbo on Monday by Aregbesola’s media aide, Mr. Sola Fasure, the governor made this accusation at a dinner.

Aregbesola said the former deputy governor, who is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, was not competent to criticise his administration because Omisore and the PDP allegedly plunged the state and the country into socio-economic and political coma.

Aregbesola said, “I can say it without any form of equivocation that Omisore is a shameless person who doesn’t know what is next in his life. He is a shameless liar because all he accused us of are those things they failed to do while they were in government.

“I want him to ask himself the impact he made on the lives of the people of the state, particularly his constituents, while he was in the Senate?

“He couldn’t complete tangible projects, but rather nursed his insatiable appetite for wealth accumulation. Most of the projects we did in Osun East Senatorial District today ought to have been done years back if the PDP-led government then did the needful,” he stressed.

Aregbesola added, “As of today, he (Omisore) still owes Osun government backlog of taxes. The last tax of N25,000 he paid was in 2013, meaning that he is a tax defaulter.
