In a significant political development, the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended former governor Rauf Aregbesola, who also served as the Minister of Interior. This suspension is a response to allegations that Aregbesola engaged in activities that undermine the party’s unity and cohesion.

The APC’s resolution, which was submitted to the National Secretariat and addressed to the National Chairman, Dr. Umar Ganduje, states that Aregbesola has been involved in actions considered detrimental to the party. Specifically, he is accused of forming a splinter faction that has created divisions within the APC. The party argues that these actions threaten its overall stability, particularly at a critical juncture in Osun’s political landscape.

According to the Osun APC, Aregbesola’s actions have not only weakened the party’s internal cohesion but also fueled tensions among members. The party emphasizes that maintaining unity is essential for effectively navigating the current political climate in Osun, where every move can significantly influence the party’s performance and public perception.

As of now, Aregbesola’s camp has not provided a public response to the suspension. This silence raises questions about his next steps and how this suspension will affect his political future and relationships within the party.
