A former chairman of Ede North Local Government, Hon. Mukaila Uthman, has shed more light on the origin of the crisis that led to the exit of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his loyalists from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State.

Mukaila, who spoke on the formation of The Osun Progressives (TOP), a caucus within the APC which has now metamorphosed to Omoluabi Progressives, gave the details while featuring on a political programme tagged Gbagede Oro on Honor FM, Ibadan.

The former chairman also revealed how the association of local government chairmen were instructed not to wish Aregbesola during his birthday celebration.

Mukaila said the crisis began when local government chairmen were instructed to take sides between Aregbesola and former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, just six months to the end of their tenure.

“Let me tell you the origin of this issue. Aregbesola was not behind the formation of The Omoluabi Progressives (TOP). We were behind TOP and the origin is this.

“When we were serving as local council chairmen, less than six months to the end of our tenure, we were told to pick our favorites between Aregbesola and Oyetola. Then, Kolapo Alimi who is now the Commissioner for Information in the present administration was part of TOP.”

Kolapo Alimi, a member of The Omoluabi Progressives (TOP) and the current Commissioner for Information, was part of the legal team that worked on the case but was not paid. When he returned, Oyetola told him that he would not be part of the administration because of his loyalty to Aregbesola.

“After the Supreme court judgement that declared APC the winner.
