The All Progressives Congress (APC) Osun State chapter has suspended former Minister of Interior Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for alleged anti-party activities.
According to reports in the Vanguard, a resolution submitted to the APC National Secretariat and addressed to National Chairman Dr. Umar Ganduje, the Osun APC asserts that Aregbesola’s actions, specifically the formation of a rival faction, have contributed to ongoing divisions within the party.
The APC asserts that this action has compromised party cohesion, particularly during a critical period in Osun politics.
Party leaders are concerned that Aregbesola’s significant influence over specific groups has exacerbated internal divisions, which the state chapter perceives as harmful to party cohesion.
The Osun APC’s suspension represents a bold step to address internal issues and refocus leadership priorities ahead of upcoming elections, with responses from Aregbesola’s camp anticipated as the situation unfolds.
It would be recalled that Rauf Aregbesola was a former Osun State Governor and later appointed as Minister under Muhammadu Buhari led administration
