The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has suspended former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, over alleged anti-party activities.

In a resolution submitted to the APC National Secretariat and addressed to National Chairman Dr. Umar Ganduje, the Osun APC accused Aregbesola of creating divisions within the party by establishing a splinter faction.

The state party chapter said the move had undermined cohesion and unity, especially during a critical period in Osun politics.

The party said that Aregbesola’s actions have fueled internal divisions.

Sequel to a letter by the Secretary of State Disciplinary Committee, Comrade Waheed Adediran dated October 24, 2024 with reference number APC/OS/RA/01 to Aregbesola, Osun APC chairman, Tajudeen Lawal and Secretary, Alao Kamoru, the party suspended him on six grounds of anti-party and others.

Aregbesola’s camp is yet to respond to the development.
