In a significant development within the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former governor and immediate past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has been suspended over allegations of anti-party activities. According to 9am News, the suspension was confirmed in an official letter signed by Alhaji Tajudeen Lawal, the Osun APC Chairman, and later corroborated by the party’s Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Olabisi.
The APC claims that Aregbesola’s establishment of a splinter faction in Osun State politics has disrupted party unity during a sensitive period. His influence reportedly created rifts within the APC, which party leaders argue have undermined internal cohesion and hindered efforts to maintain stability.
The Osun APC decision to suspend Aregbesola signals an attempt to mitigate internal conflicts as they prepare for upcoming elections. The suspension serves as a decisive step to realign the party’s leadership structure and curb any perceived disloyalty within its ranks.
Statements from Aregbesola’s camp are anticipated in response to this development, potentially clarifying his position on the allegations and addressing his future within Osun State’s political landscape.
