The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has suspended former Minister Rauf Aregbesola over alleged anti-party activities. The party accuses Aregbesola of actions that reportedly sabotaged APC’s electoral chances in Osun’s recent elections.
Aregbesola, a former governor and longtime party figure, was notably absent during key campaign activities and allegedly endorsed opposition candidates.
The APC disciplinary committee claims it repeatedly attempted to engage Aregbesola, but he failed to respond. His suspension has drawn mixed reactions, with some APC members supporting the decision, while others argue the party risks alienating strong grassroots leaders.
Aregbesola has yet to officially respond to the suspension, while political analysts believe this move could signal deeper factional struggles within the APC.
With the next electoral cycle in sight, APC’s Osun chapter seems intent on consolidating loyalty and addressing internal divisions to strengthen its position.
