How Oyetola betrayed me, Aregesola speaks

According to TheCable, the immediate past minister of interior made the comment at the end of the year event organised for him by his loyalists in Ilesa, Osun state.

Speaking at the event, Aregbesola said he and his loyalists were betrayed by his successor, Oyetola

He said:

“We did our own eight years in office, and by the grace of God, we handed over power to the person who we felt would meet our interests and that of the party,
“But he betrayed us and the party. Those who are not patient and not in Osun began to say rubbish about the matter."
