Former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said his political future is in the hands of God.

n

Omisore, a former senator representing Osun East, spoke on Tuesday in Osogbo during a programme organised by his political associates to mark his 69th birthday.

n

He said he had entrusted his future to God as he approached the seventh decade of his life, adding that he would accept whatever plan God had for him.

n

“My political future depends on God’s plan for me. I am in the hand of God. Whatever His plan for me is good,” he said.

n

Also speaking, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke described Omisore as an agent of development whose contributions to the growth of the state were significant.

n

In a statement congratulating the former deputy governor, Adeleke said Omisore had contributed to the development of Osun through his professional career, public service and political engagement.

n

The governor said Omisore had demonstrated courage, wisdom and commitment to the progress of the people throughout his career as an engineer, deputy governor, senator, traditional leader and community builder.

n

He wished Omisore fulfilment as he continued to contribute to society.

n

Earlier, the Catholic Bishop of Osogbo Diocese, Most Rev. John Oyejola, urged Omisore to continue dedicating his life to the development of humanity.

n

Oyejola said Omisore’s current political status was part of God’s plan for his life, describing politics as a vocation of service.

n

He urged the former senator to see the next phase of his life as an opportunity to mentor younger leaders, promote values and contribute to institution-building.

n

The bishop said Omisore could continue to influence society through mentorship and by serving as a voice of conscience, regardless of whether he held political office.

n

He prayed that Omisore’s later years would be marked by peace, honour, influence and joy.
