    Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola

    The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the immediate suspension of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, a former governor of the state and Minister of Interior during Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure pending the outcome of disciplinary proceedings against him.

    The suspension is a sequel to a resolution by the Ilesa East Local Government Executive Committee of APC, which has requested disciplinary action against Aregbesola for anti-party activities.

    The Ilesa East Exco believes swift action will restore party discipline and deter other members from engaging in anti-party activities.

    The Osun State APC Executive Committee stated in a Resolution submitted to the APC’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and sighted by our reporter that the allegations levelled against Aregbesola include party fictionalisation, i.e., forming splinter groups and parallel organs, collaborating with opposition parties to unsettle the APC in Osun, and public outbursts against party leaders, including President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

    The former governor, who served two terms and was a close ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been criticised within and outside the party over his perceived support for opposition factions during the last election cycle.

    In the meantime, the State Disciplinary Committee constituted by Osun State Exco has written to Aregbesola, requesting a formal response to ensure due process in accordance with the party’s constitution.
