Aregbesola predicts political doom of successor, Governor Oyetola
The former Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has predicted that his successor and incumbent Governor, Gboyega Oyetola is heading towards political oblivion, accusing him (Oyetola) of derailing from agreement reached before his emergence.
Penpushing reports that, Aregbesola,, stated this while addressing party members on Monday in Ijebu-Jesa town of the state, recalling that he earlier reluctantly accepted Oyetola when he was imposed by leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) Bola Tinubu in 2018 to succeed him in office
The Minister of Interior, said Oyetola had promised to continue the legacy he laid, but lamented that contrary to this, he failed to keep to the agreement adding that, he should expect treatment meted out to Lagos State former Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode who derailed from master plan
“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”, Aregbesola posited.
“Only God can terrify us, not man. Go and tell them wherever they are, we own this party. We own this Afenifere group. We own this people-loving group started by our patriarchs Obafemi Awolowo and Bola Ige. This was Elder Akande’s group before he temporarily left us. This is our party. Stop calling yourself a factional group; you are not a faction; you are the authentic APC.”
“We built this party on perseverance as well as sweat and blood. We lost a lot of people in this struggle but eventually, we came into government on November 27, 2010. We were in government for eight years and governed according to the measure of God’s grace, everybody in Osun enjoyed our tenure.”
“We came back home to reposition our party to where it was meant to be because we followed the leading of our leader that we thought was a noble and reliable fellow. We followed him dutifully with all sense of loyalty”, he added
Penpushing also reports the annoyed former Governor declared it is high time to put an end to what he called ‘nonsense’, adding that he is a known loyalist to the leadership of the party, lamenting that contrary to his respect party authority, evil were being planned against him from some quarters
