FORMER Deputy governor of Osun State, Senator
Iyiola Omisore has described the proposed
building of an Interdenominational Worship
Centre by the state government as an attempt to
siphon taxpayers’ money.
But in a swift reaction, Director of Publicity of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi
dismissed the allegations as unfounded.
Omisore also called on the Rauf Aregbesola led
administration to reverse the new education
policy rather than embarking on the project.
Omisore said this in a statement by his Director of
Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi, that,
“The proposed worship centre is an attempt to
siphon taxpayers’ money with no genuine
concern for the welfare of the people of the state.
” It would have been more honourable for the
government to admit mistake and reverse the
new education policy which is causing confusion
in the state than erecting an interdenominational
centre to hoodwink the Christian community who
are opposed to his disposition towards them.”
He said: “As a governor that claims to believe in
equality among all religions, my concern is about
how much the government will have to spend to
erect mosques and shrines for our Muslim
brothers and “Isese” people when the people of
the state are wallowing in abject poverty.”

In a telephone chat with Vanguard, Mr. Oyatomi
said: “How can you use the building of an inter-
denominational worship centre to siphon money?
“Omisore cannot comment on what is happening
in the state because he is not even the candidate
of the party. If Aregbesola is not building the
worship centre, they will say he is Islamising the
state. Most renowned Christian clerics hail from
this state and for your information, the plan for
the building of the worship centre did not start
today.
“Aregbesola is unlike them because for 90
months, they wrecked the economy of this state
when they were in government. Every kobo that
Rauf has earned, in the last 36 months, he has
put to use judiciously.
“Rauf Aregbesola is above board and siphoning is
just their own language because that is what they
do. On the school reclassification policy he said:
“Does Omisore want us to leave the schools in the
sorry state they left if? God forbid!”
