The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State on Tuesday suspended former Minister of Interior Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for alleged anti-party activities.
In a resolution submitted to the APC National Secretariat and addressed to National Chairman Dr. Umar Ganduje, the Osun APC accused Aregbesola, a former state governor, of fostering divisions within the party by forming a splinter faction.
This action is viewed as detrimental to the party’s unity, particularly during a crucial time in Osun’s political landscape.
The APC claims that Aregbesola’s conduct has exacerbated internal conflicts, with party leaders noting that his influence over certain groups has led to significant discord.
This suspension represents a firm step by the state chapter to address perceived disloyalty and to realign its leadership in anticipation of upcoming elections. Further responses from Aregbesola’s camp are expected as the situation develops.
