Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned the two-term former governor of the State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as the party commenced electronic membership registration process.
The State’s party chairman, Mr. Tajudeen Lawal revealed the decision of the Osun APC in a communiqué after yesterday’s stakeholders meeting at the state secretariat in Osogbo.
The chairman said the former minister of interior had committed various anti-party activities, including forming groups that are working against the interest of the party.
Mr Lawal warned party members not to be deceived to register with the ex-governor because the group is not recognized by the party.
APC secretary in the state, Kamoru Alao, corroborating the chairman said the party’s electronic membership registration will start tomorrow after National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje’s inauguration of the committee that will train the trainers at the local levels.
He said: “We are discouraging our members who are loyal party member not to register with Aregbesola’s group because Omoluabi as a group is not a member of our party in Osun state.
“Aregbesola, as far as we are concerned, in Osun APC, he is no more a member of APC. We have taken steps three times to notify the national secretariat of the distractions from Aregbesola and we expect the national secretariat to do the needful.”
Mr Benedict Alabi, a former deputy governor to Mr. Gboyega Oyetola while speaking at the meeting passed a vote of confidence on Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alabi said; “Anyone who is calling for the sack of the Oyetola is only political, everyone knows that he is a silent worker and achiever. When you are having a new ministry, you need to put a lot of structures in place. I am sure that those who call for the sack of Oyetola under political gimmicks will have a regret of what they have said when they see the outcome of what he has put in place.”
