Former Governor of the State of Osun and Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Thursday, said his successor, Adegboyega Oyetola, waged war against him after he became governor.

Aregbesola spoke in Ikire while addressing a rally held to garner for his anointed candidate in Saturday’s Osun governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress, Moshood Adeoti.

Speaking in the Yoruba language, Aregbesola said he pleaded with Oyetola for about two years not to fight him, adding that his successor rejected his advice which made him call his people and told them to salvage the party.

He said, “I begged him for two years, I told him that people must not mock us. I told him, that he was heading towards destruction. I served this state with the whole of my heart, I also positioned Oyetola, so that he could succeed me in office.

“When we came to this town (Ikire) for his campaign, we were drenched in rain from the Akire’s palace to this place. He gets to that office, he claimed I am his enemy. Those who contested against him during our party primary he pulled them closer, while he fights me.

“Since Oyetola assumed office, he has waged war against me like I once harmed him. He claimed that I do not want him to emerge as governor, I told him that I heard him and that now he has been governor, what else does he want?

“I begged him for two years, I told him that people must not mock us. I told him that he is heading towards destruction. I begged him for two years. I sent people to help me beg that, he did not have to love me, but he must not fight me; even if he wanted to fight me, he should not abuse me and destroy my legacies.

“All that I told and warned him not to do, was what he did. He opposed what I did; all the things I did together with him for eight years, he opposed and reversed them. He thought he could destroy me through my work; nobody was pushing him, he is pushing himself. He deliberately towed that path. He waged war at me and refused to listen to my pleas until he got rid of me.

“When I observed that he would not listen, I called people together that they should start telling your people that progressives family must not be destroyed. The party chairman, Famodun, that we took away from PDP, he may return to that party, we must not let him lead us astray. Leaders of the party then agreed that we should go back to where we missed the road in 2018.

“When Adeoti was angry with us, he did not abuse us, when we refused to do his will, he protested but he never cursed us. We have realised our mistake. That is why we gave him the ticket of our caucus.”

Oyetola didn’t fight him, he wanted to control his successor, says Akere
Responding, Special Adviser to the governor on Political Affairs, Sunday Akere, said Aregbesola only expressed a personal opinion, insisting that Oyetola did not fight his predecessor.

“Our former principal only expressed a personal opinion which no one was privy to. Oyetola did not fight him. He declared that Oyetola’s tenure was his third term and he wanted to be in charge.

“He also promised those close to him that 80 per cent of them would return as cabinet which did not happen. The former governor thought the eight-year tenure was an eternity. It has ended but he could not believe that reality. The root cause of these issues are what I just said,” Akere stated.

As if you are a voter in Osun State. As it stand, Oyetola is a goner.

Governors that keep insisting on installing their successors are funny. They turn around to bite u especially when u wanna act like Godfathers and lord over them.

I'm liking this trend

Two failures in a cold wars....

Aketi did it
Fayemi did it
Makinde did it

It's Time for you to do the same and end this useless man choking influence.

Let them kill themselves

We all should be careful of worthless pipu we kal friend.Same man that Pa Tee fought for now turned against him .

I still believe that AREGBESOLA is overating his influence in Osun state.

People of Osun do not rate him, you can't be useless as a governor and expect your people to respect you once you leave

...brings to mind, 'Edo no be Lagos'. I see a repeat. All that is needed for an incumbent to defeat a godfather is preposterous spending of state(s) funds and having balls of steel. They all know this, it is a winning pattern. Ambode had balls of cheese (Cheese Balls) thus his misadventure.

All these market women sef mtcheeeew

Stop dreaming after drinking pap and Akara

A better Nigeria all around is all we want, not all these political shenanigans.

Oyetola is a goner. The handwriting is on the wall.

Aregberascal cool down I understand the situation.
You helped him to power no doubt but the guy knows the limit of your power and continued from there.
Oyetola is consulting Tinubu directly on critical state matters to the chagrin of Aregbe who saw himself as a local godfather to him. Aregbe feels alighted and Tinubu feels honoured.
Aregbe wants him to consult him first on state matter and if at all external consultation should be required he Aregbe should take the lead. Oyetola sees himself to be above spoon-feeding as a governor hence his efforts to reduce the hierarchy of command to the top. Let them find a way to strike balance in their ego. Tinubu can advise the governor to reach out to Aregbe first on certain issues he is being consulted and let Aregbe get to him.
This is how to oil everyone ego .

OK sir.

Shut up greedy old fool....

What Legacy do you want Oyetola to protect?!

Stupid Education policies that almost scattered Osun State with Muslim and Christians having beef

Not paying Workers full salary and withholding gratuity and pension

Or

Continuation of wasting funds on white elephant project like Opon Imo, Oshogbo Airport and other non economically feasible projects

Tinubu and APC already rewarded you with a very juicy Ministry of Interior, Managing Immigration service and Correctional centers

From Poly Ibadan HND graduate turned fridge repairer in Alimosho to 4years Tinubu's chief of staff, 4 years Lagos State Commissioner, 8 years Osun State Governor, 4 years Federal Minister of Interior
