Osun 2022: Aregbesola Blows Hot, Attacks Tinubu, Oyetola,
By Kabir Akintayo
The Minister of Interior and former governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, has drawn a battle line with those he termed as betrayers of his trust in the state and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aregbesola who spoke with members of the APC ahead of the primary for the Osun governorship election accused party bigwigs like Bola Ahmed Tinubu and one of his predecessors, Bisi Akande, of godfatherism,
The minister claimed that the duo foisted his successor, Gboyega Oyetola, on the people of the state against their collective will.
He accused other party chieftains of going against the APC rules and constitution laid down by its founding fathers.

The minister went on to predict that just as Akinwunmi Ambode, a former Lagos governor, was dumped after his first term,
Oyetola will be disgraced in the coming gubernatorial poll as he will not exceed four years in office.
“That was how it was in Lagos at a time; a governor derailed and the party members unseated him using the ballot boxes. As it was in Lagos yesterday, so shall it be in Osun today. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.”
The former Osun governor said Oyetola has failed to consolidate on his good legacies and achievements in the state. He noted: “When he (Tinubu) will hand over the present governor to me around July of 2018, he (Tinubu) declared that he (Oyetola) will succeed me and continue my good works. That was what he told me. He knows he has not done so if he is listening now and he has failed to call my successor to order.” Aregbesola, therefore, drummed support for former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Moshood Adeoti and called on APC members to vote for him in the forthcoming primary.
