The former senator described the state’s current development model as “economically unsustainable and morally indefensible,” pledging a decisive break from business as usual. His promise is clear: a new era of prosperity, powered by Osun’s own people and resources.
From Farms to Factories: Reinventing Agriculture
Speaking passionately, Omisore argued that agriculture must move beyond subsistence to become a wealth-creating industry.
“For too long, we have treated farming as mere survival. My vision is to transform it into a profit-driven sector capable of feeding the nation and enriching Osun,” he explained.
His plan emphasises creating a full agricultural value chain—boosting productivity to secure surplus, ending the export of raw produce, and establishing agro-allied industries in every local government. Factories for processing, packaging, and preservation will drive job creation, while industrial zones and distribution hubs will support both cottage enterprises and large-scale manufacturers.
Ending Capital Flight: Local Content First
Omisore issued a sharp critique
of current governance, accusing the state of allowing its wealth to drain away through external contractors.“How many Osun indigenes are benefitting as main contractors, engineers, or suppliers? Very few,” he noted.
To reverse this, he vowed to enact a Local Content Act that compels government projects to empower Osun-based firms. “The wealth of Osun must first and foremost work for the people of Osun,” he stressed.
Political Will and Flawless Execution
When pressed on why his promises would succeed where others had failed, Omisore was firm:
“This is not rocket science. It requires strategic planning, flawless execution, and above all, political will. I have the experience, the blueprint, and the determination to make it happen.”
Closing on an inspirational note, he rallied voters to see the election as a shared mission:
“This goal cannot be achieved from Government House alone. It is about giving hope and a voice to every citizen. Together, we can bring our dreams of prosperity to life.”
With his campaign now officially launched, Osun is set for a heated contest where economic sovereignty and local empowerment will dominate the debate.
