Aregbesola Draws Battle Line With Tinubu As Osun APC War Escalates

MINISTER of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has declared war on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu insisting that if Akinwunmi Ambode could not be returned as Lagos governor for not doing well that Tinubu’s brother, Gboyega Oyetola should also be stopped for the same reason in Osun.

Aregbesola spoke to a gathering of All Progressives Congress, APC faithful as he insisted that erstwhile Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, would emerge the next governor of the state.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that it is the first time that Aregbesola is publicly daring his erstwhile political godfather, Tinubu, under whom he served as commissioner for works in Lagos State between 1999 and 2003.

Aregbesola, in a statement by his Media Aide, Sola Fasure, spoke while addressing supporters at Ijebu-Jesa, ahead of the party’s primary scheduled for February 19, 2022.

Aregbesola said: “Anyone who was with us when we started the journey to reclaim Osun for the progressives in 2004 would know we fought very hard for this victory we have today. We went through several challenges then but, through thick and thin, we were able to succeed and this time around, we will succeed.

“We are ready to allow a free flow of the democratic process to interplay here. We are not those who play God. We are resolute about reclaiming our party from those who think they can continue to abuse our legacies or even want us to be second fiddles in the party we worked and laboured for. This is our pride and we will sustain it.

Using the derailment of a second term for Ambode in Lagos State in 2019 as the signal for war against Tinubu, Aregbesola said that the same reasons used in stopping a second term for the former Lagos governor were applicable to Oyetola in Osun.

“Let me tell you that God is with us. I urge all our supporters to come out and back us. Do not have any fears. We are the authentic APC in Osun. If in Lagos, the governor did not do well and the party decided not to return him for a second term, why can’t it be so in Osun? They know what they have done to us is bad and they want to continue the impunity. We will not accept it.
