The All Progressives Congress, APC in Osun State has been accused of scheming to suspend the immediate past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola from the party in the state.
The allegations were made in a statement issued by Abosede Oluwaseun, the Osun state APC former factional youth leader, on Thursday.
Oluwaseun warned that any attempt to suspend Aregbesola will backfire.
He alleged that the plot is being orchestrated by ousted former governor Gboyega Oyetola and five of his loyalists, among who is a Senator and a former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly who lost their re-election.
He alleged that having failed in the various attempts to blackmail Aregbesola, Oyetola, and others resorted to unjustly suspending Aregbesola to stall the reconciliation between him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
However, the Osun APC has debunked the allegations and dismissed the viral report that it is planning to suspend Rauf Aregbesola over anti-party activities.
The Chairman of the APC in Osun state, Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement in Osogbo on Friday, described the claim as false and spurious.
He said the alleged plans by some people to suspend Aregbesola is grossly illogical.
Lawal said the former minister is not genuinely qualified to be called a member of the APC in Osun State, having expressly fulfilled all the conditions to tag him as technically leaving the party for many years.
He also claimed that Aregbesola and his loyalists have been hobnobbing with Senator Ademola Adeleke, the governor under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP platform, to the detriment of all the APC candidates.
