Every second term ambition to be thwarted
He added that every scheme by Oyetola to return to office as the governor of Osun state would be a nullity.
Alimi said:
“Oyetola will only succeed in his ambition if he did not betray Aregbesola’s trust and mine towards making him the governor.
"I know the role that my boss (Aregbesola) played in Oyetola’s emergence and I also contributed to his victory during the litigation."
“During the Supreme Court case, we travelled with our vehicles to Abuja on a journey of over eight hours."
He said their lives were at risk as they travelled by road all the way to Abuja while Oyetola boarded the plane luxuriously.
Alimi stated:
“He wants to go for a second term. He will never make it through to clinch the seat. I am not afraid of death. We served Oyetola wholeheartedly but he is paying us with death threats.”
Party affair is not our business, court tells Aregbesola’s loyalists, throws out suit
A suit by some loyalists of the minister of interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has been thrown out by a Federal High Court.
The suit is seeking to invalidate ward congress held by the All Progressives Congress (APC) on July 31, 2021.
According to the court, the suit brought before the court was strictly party affairs, which it lacks jurisdiction on.
Former minister criticises Rauf Aregbesola
AbdulJelili Adesiyan, an ex-minister of police affairs, earlier reacted to the comments made by Rauf Aregbesola on people's defection to APC.
Aregbesola had alleged that some miscreants have dumped their party and joined the ruling APC.
The former minister, who recently defected to APC alongside Omisore, described Aregbesola's comment as reckless and idiotic.
