Aregbesola speaks on next move after battle with Tinubu and Oyetola

Rauf Aregbesola, the former governor of Osun state, has revealed plans to announce his next political move to the state’s people. This is coming after a long silent battle between him and President Bola Tinubu and Gboyega Oyetola, the immediate past Osun state governor.  Aregbesola said he will reveal the next political move soon.

How Oyetola betrayed me, Aregesola revealed 

According to The Cable, the immediate past minister of interior made the comment at the end of the year, thanking his loyalists organised for him in Ilesa, Osun state.

Speaking at the event, Aregbesola said he and his loyalists were betrayed by his successor, Oyetola.

 His narrative reads in part: “We did our own eight years in office, and by the grace of God, we handed over power to the person who we felt would meet our interests and that of the party but he betrayed us and the party. 

“Those who are not patient and not in Osun began to say rubbish about the matter.” 

 The former governor further revealed how the conditions given by his camp during a peace meeting ahead of the 2022 governorship election in the state were ignored by the Oyetola’s camp. 

Recall that the loss of Oyetola in the election marked the beginning of the feud between Aregbesola and President Tinubu. Aregbesola was caught in a video ahead of the election that Tinubu did not want what he did to the former governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode, to happen to his brother, Oyetola. 

It was earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu and the immediate past minister of interior, Rauf Aregbesola, have been predicted to end their rift soon. The Mufti of Ilorin Sheik Sulaiman Farooq Onikijapa predicted the eight-day prayer for the late Sheik Abdulwahab Banni Afonta, an Osogbo-based Islamic cleric. Onikijipa noted that it would take time before peace would return between the duo but expressed optimism that the two would soon come together as before.
