The immediate past Osun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Adebayo Adeleke, has said ex-Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, is currently not a member of the All Progressives Congress.

Adeleke served as a commissioner in the cabinet of ex-governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, who is currently serving as the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy.

He spoke at the Osun Central Senatorial meeting of the APC held in Osogbo, Osun State capital.

In a video clip of Adeleke’s remarks at the event obtained on Thursday, the APC chieftain said all serious of the party in the state were aware that Aregbesola was not currently a member of the party.

Aregbesola, who served as Osun State Governor between November 27, 2010 and November 27, 2018, was succeeded by Oyetola, who contested and won 2018 governorship poll in the state on the platform of the APC, defeating Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party.

However, the relationship between Aregbesola and Oyetola went sour before the 2022 governorship poll, after the latter declared for Mr. Moshood Adeoti, who served as Secretary to the State Government during his reign as governor.

Oyetola eventually lost the 2022 poll to Adeleke of the PDP, the development that deepened the crises between him and Aregbesola, and the discord has so far defied all solutions.

Speaking at the meeting attended by the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, and other party bigwigs from the 10 local government areas that made up the senatorial district, Adeleke insisted that the two ex-governors in Osun APC are Chief Bisi Akande and Oyetola.

In the video, Adeleke said, “They said in our party in Osun, we have two former governors, we have Chief Bisi Akande and ex-governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.

“Someone asked about ex-governor Rauf Aregbesola, and my response is that all of the APC know that Aregbesola presently is not a member of our party.”

Efforts to get a reaction to Adeleke’s claim failed, as a response to a message sent to Mr. Sola Fasure, Aregbesola’s media adviser, on the matter, was still being expected as of the time of filing this report.

Aregbesola has been relegated backward in Osun State politics. He should just retired from participating in Osun State politics. Tinubu don dealt with him
In Lagos State politics. His time has gone

Can APC do without him ...especially his stronghold in Lagos ....Abeg Oga Aregbesola's effect is beyond Osun .... He is just relaxing I want to believe ...

Aregbe deliberately sidelined himself

Aregbesola miscalculated badly. Because he wanted to become a mini godfather in osun state, he turned against his benefactor.
They're all power hungry men anyway.

The major problem of Nigeria is politics

Who APC and its help?
Abeg make them go one corner.

Kò kan ayé.

He is no more relevant in the party.

He wasn't loyal.

Never give a disloyal person a second chance. It might burn you.

Ogbeni has always made his position clear which led to the fall out in the last guber elections..

But one is surprised at all of these considering he is one of the Jagaban products..

More revelations are expected as time flies by tho..

Nigerian politics is a complex web.. nothing is revealed by what you see or hear..

Irresponsible political losers...




Oga go soon port...

The genesis of apcs loss in osun was when the adelekes were denied the senatorial ticket to replace late isiaka adeleke in the senate in 2016 or thereabout.

I think they underestimated the political powers and influence of the adelekes.


I cant really say aregbe is a loser, considering he was 2 times gov and 8yrs minister, but his status as an ex gov has been so far diminished. He is almost a nobody in this istration.

Aregbe Rascal

He's a Lp member now

Aregbesola on his way to political oblivion

APC is a political conspiracy by people of different ideological divides to send then President Goodluck Jonathan out of office.

Shut up... If Aregbe should contest the 3rd time in osun against Oyetola, he will beat him blue black

All Aregbesola wants is relevance by being involved in Tinubu government.. There are people in presidency who thwart all efforts for him to reconcile with PBAT. By the time PBAT finishes his first tenure in 2027, Aregbesola must have lost political relevance in Osun and Nigeria. He is on the verge of going into political extinction.

Aregbe should go and Peter Obi in Labourer’s party so that they can both continue to labour in vain
