The former Governor of Osun, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, and some of his loyalists have resorted to threatening the life of the immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, over his recent political activities in Osun.
Speaking through his spokesperson, Ismail Omipidan, in an article circulated on Friday, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy threatened that Mr. Aregbesola would be unable to withstand the onslaught regarding his recent political activities in the state.
Oyetola said some members of the IleriOluwa faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, will “square up with Aregbesola when the time comes.”
His words, “But one thing Aregbesola must know is that an average Osun APC faithful only appears to be waiting for the appropriate time to square up with him. When the time comes, the former governor may not be able to withstand the onslaught,” Oyetola fumed.
OSUN DEFENDER recalls that on February 14, 2022, Aregbesola was attacked by some gunmen allegedly sponsored by the Oyetola-led government at the Old Garage area of Osogbo, while returning from a political event, in Ilesa.
On February 3, 2022, some armed political hoodlums suspected to have been sponsored by the Oyetola-led IleriOluwa faction of the APC, attacked Oranmiyan House in Osogbo and shot directly into the building during a meeting of members of the defunct The Osun Progressives (TOP).
There have been a series of attacks against Aregbesola and his aides from the camp of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, with the latest of the threats coming from Oyetola through his spokesperson.
