If you recall our story last week on Senator Iyiola Omisore’s unique campaign posters, then aspirants’ campaign posters in Osun state will not be strange to you, but what you should know is that the battle for the PDP governorship ticket in Osun state is not mainly being fought with the use of posters and billboards. Gist Plus gathered that all over the state, especially in the state capital, Osogbo, posters of the governorship aspirants are competing for space. The colourful posters pasted with enticing words aimed at attracting the interest of the electorate in their bid to succeed the incumbent governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in 2011. We can reveal to you, fresh and hot, that the painful thing about the ongoing posters’ war in the state is that the PDP aspirants have disfigured the state capital with their posters which were pasted indiscriminately all over the state. The painful part of this, is that the state government has not deemed it fit to use the avenue to generate income for the state by billing any political billboard erected in the state. We learnt that some of those that contested the 2007 governorship election in the state have not removed their billboards in some parts of the state, simply because they did not pay for the space they used for their adverts. Many in Osogbo are now calling on the concerned agencies of the state government to wake up and start collecting necessary dues from these political adverts.
