The former governor of Osun State and former minister of interior, Rauf Aregbesola has claimed that his successor, Gboyega Oyetola, “betrayed him and his loyalists.”
Aregbesola spoke over the weekend during the end-of-the-year thanksgiving organised by his loyalists in Ilesa, Osun state.
The former minister said he will soon announce his next political move to the people of Osun.
Recall Aregbesola served as the governor of Osun between 2010 and 2018 after which he was succeeded by Oyetola, who served from 2018 to 2022.
Aregbesola played a key role in the emergence of Oyetola as the governor of Osun during the 2018 governorship election.
But, in the build up to the 2022 Osun governorship poll, the relationship between Aregbesola and Oyetola turned sour.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun state was divided into two factions as a result of the political tussle.
The division in Osun APC did not stop Oyetola, who was then the incumbent governor, from clinching the APC governorship ticket for the second time.
Aregbesola and his loyalists did not participate in the re-election campaign activities of Oyetola.
Oyetola consequently lost the July 2022 governorship election to Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
