The Osun state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, over 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 governor of the state, of creating divisions within the party by establishing a splinter faction.
The state chapter of the party however noted that the alleged move was seen as undermining the party’s cohesion and unity, especially during a critical period in Osun politics.
The APC in Osun claims that Aregbesola’s actions have fueled internal divisions, with party leaders asserting that his influence on certain groups has caused significant discord. This suspension marks a decisive action by the party’s state chapter to address perceived disloyalty and realign its leadership ahead of future elections.
Further responses from Aregbesola’s camp are awaited as the situation unfolds.
