Thanks To Fayemi… It’s Major Trouble For Tinubu’s Candidate Oyetola In Osun

“There is a growing movement to have him disqualified based on retaining government appointment in the run in to an election” a source disclosed.

There are said to be those that are latching on to alleged constitutional provision of resignation 30 days before an election.

“What is not clear is how far the opposition is willing to go, whether they will make the situation to come back to haunt Oyetola like it is haunting Fayemi or not” another source stated.

The Osun state gubernatorial election is scheduled for September 22, 2018.
