The Presidency confirmed Omisore’s agreement with APC on Twitter page.
Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad wrote: “Sen. Iyiola Omisore says his party, the SDP, is set to form an alliance with our great party, the APC for the Osun re-run election
He said this while addressing journalists at his residence in Ile Ife on Wednesday.
He said, “We have accepted to support the APC for victory in the rerun election tomorrow and thereafter form a coalition government.”

Saraki had claimed via a tweet, “I thank Sen. Iyiola Omisore for the warm reception he and his people gave me and members of my entourage in Ile-Ife today.”
