He engages in varieties of encouraging practices that reflects his genuinty for humanity, every January 1 each year, he visits Obafemi Awolowo Teaching hospital and donate several millions for the treatment of the less privileged. He has been doing this for several years. He also visits orphanages to embrace the motherless and provides them with financial support and advices. He also engages in multiple scholarships to deserving people who cannot pursue their dreams as a result of the economy of the country.”
“As the former national secretary of the All Progressive congress, he contributed to the country’s transformation into a highly developed nation, focusing on long-term planning and transparency. His leadership was marked by a deep understanding of the needs of his people, and his policies reflected his commitment to their well-being.”
According to an insider, “what sets Senator Iyiola Omisore apart from other politicians is his dedication to his profession. Despite being a prominent political figure, he remains committed to his work as a Mechanical and electrical engineer with multiple degrees in Diploma&BSc Electrical, MSc Mechanical FTC Testing methods and PhD Engineering Finance. Senator Iyiola Omisore recognizes the importance of staying grounded in his craft.
Many don’t know that Senator Omisore, began his Engineering career as a Project Engineer and later Project Manager with Drake + Gordon UK Ltd; a Mechanical, electrical engineering and construction firm and Drake & skull Nigeria Ltd. Whilst in Drake & Skull, he was directly involved both as a Project/Commissioning engineer and Project Manager in many projects.

He later moved to Engineering Consultancy, Multi-Disciplinary firms; Breton woods Institutions and formed Mechelec Consultants Ltd. Mechelec Consultants has also been involved in many projects African Development Bank financed projects across the states; World Bank financed projects.
After a long Engineering experience, Senator Omisore veered into partisan politics. He was elected first as a deputy governor (1999- 2003), Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (2003-2011) and was until recently the National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
According to another insider, this commitment not only makes him a better politician but also serves as a reminder that politics should not be the only focus of a public servant.
“In an era where many politicians rely solely on Politics for their livelihood, Senator Iyiola Omisore’s example serves as a wake-up call. Depending on politics alone can lead to bad politics, where decisions are made with the sole intention of gaining power and wealth, rather than serving the people. By prioritizing his profession, Senator Iyiola Omisore demonstrates that it is possible to be a dedicated public servant while maintaining a sense of purpose and fulfillment outside of politics.”
His recent gubernatorial race in Osun APC was not just a political run; it was a blueprint in brilliance, executed with class, humor, humility, and an unshakeable resolve, wrote a close aide.
“From the very beginning, Dr. Omisore understood that politics is not won by loud rhetoric, but by connection with the people, their pains, their hopes and their future. And so, while others shouted slogans from podiums, he was already walking the dusty roads, sharing quiet moments with market women, artisans, youths, and elders. He didn’t just show up; he listened. And in listening, he built trust, block by block.”
“His campaign appearances were not just about speeches, they were performances of purpose, blending oratory finesse with deep policy knowledge. Every town hall became a Masterclass. Every handshake, a statement of respect. Every silence, a calculated pause.”
“Yet, beneath that polished presence is a man profoundly grounded. Dr. Omisore’s campaign was sprinkled with humor that humanizes:he makes people laugh, not because he tries too hard but because he understands the power of levity in a land burdened by hardship. He told stories. He poked fun at himself. He dances, yes, even off-beat sometimes and reminded us all that power is best worn with a smile. But make no mistake: behind that warmth lies steel.”
“Dr. Omisore set up a campaign team that felt more like a think tank than a political engine. Young technocrats, experienced political tacticians, grassroots organizers, digital wizards, he has brought them all to the table, not to dominate, but to collaborate. His slogan might as well be: “No ego, just execution.”
“He was ahead of the curve, harnessing data to guide outreach, using social media not just for noise but for narrative, and deploying strategic alliances that show he’s not just running for office, he’s redefining how it’s done.”
