Reactions have continued to trail a grand plot to suspend Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the immediate past Minister of Interior, from the All Progressives Congress in Osun State.

Recall that this medium had earlier reported that a former Factional Youth Leader, Osun APC, Abosede Oluwaseun accused the APC of plotting to suspend Aregbesola from the party.

In a statement signed by Oluwaseun, he said, ” The plot is being orchestrated by the former governor Gboyega Oyetola and five of his loyalists, among who are a Senator and former Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly who lost their re-election.

“Others involved in the grand plot are a young former commissioner for Works and Transport and former commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs who are said to be the initiators of the suspension idea.

“We have it on high authority that the Ilesa Ward 8 executives of the APC, which is Aregbesola’s ward, were manipulated yesterday (Wednesday) to sign a blank sheet on the false pretence that the APC state leadership wanted to get their commitment to the progress of the party.

“We are also reliably informed that a huge amount of money was given to the ward executives a few hours ago by an emissary sent by Oyetola and other conspirators.

“We note that having failed in the various attempts to blackmail Aregbesola, Oyetola and others allegedly resulted in unjustly suspending Aregbesola to stall the reconciliation between him and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We want to state it clear that any attempt to suspend Aregbesola will backfire. ”

Nigerians took to their social media handles to express views on the plot to suspend Aregbesola from the APC. While majority called for caution, few others had other opinion.

When the man in question attacked Aregbesola and his factions with gun’s and others dangerous weapons, None of u see anything bad in it.”

“What a shame, so the party chairman can continue to play partisan policy within the party and degraded himself to the level of defending Oyetola by exchanging worlds with the party factional youth leader. What a shame,” – Another social media user, Adex Bankku Elus said.
