The APC youth leader further accused Aregbesola of using his ministerial position to mobilise resources to work against the APC in order to aid the PDP at the just concluded gubernatorial polls.
He said:
“Aregbesola declared war on our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in Ijebu-Jesa in one of his public outings. At that outing, he publicly declared his mission to strategise the political fall of Asiwaju Tinubu. May Allah reject his evil wish.”
Aregbesola speaks on APC’s future
Meanwhile, the minister of interior recently commented on the party's future while referencing the Osun state governorship polls.
Aregbesola via his spokesperson, Sola Fasure said:
“The youth are misguided. For close to four years, the refrain of their sponsors was that Aregbesola was no longer relevant in the APC and Osun politics.
”He was subjected to scurrilous attacks, including armed invasion on his campaign office on two occasions.
“Buoyed by the false notion of their superiority, they practiced ruinous exclusivity and shunned any call for reconciliation and inclusion of other members of the party. Their reaction has shown they have not learnt any lesson and they may be doomed to a concatenation of more defeats.”
Restructure Osun APC now, Aregbesola’s supporters make serious demand
In another development, there are agitations for the restructuring of the Osun state chapter of the ruling party, APC.
This agitation was staged by some factional members of the party known as The Osun Progressive (TOP).
Also, the protesting APC members also called for the sacking of the state party chairman, Gboyega Famodun.
