APC breaks silence over Aregbesola’s new caucus in Osun

LAUNCH OF OMOLUABI CAUCUS: Enough Is Enough

– Osun APC Cautions RAUF AREGBESOLA

Sequel to the launch of a political group, Omoluabi Progressives, by the immediate-past Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, in Ilesa, Osun State, yesterday, the state chapter of the party has enjoined the members and supporters of the party in the state to be wary of the antics of the leader of the group, Mr Aregbesola, and keep the group at an arm’s length because of its diabolical intention and motive.

It would be recalled that Aregbesola with his co-travellers in the defunct The Osun Progressives (TOP) converged in Ilesa yesterday for the inauguration of the said Omoluabi Progressives.

In his remark on the launch of the renegade group, the state chairman of the party, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, hinted that the Aregbesola group is a mere attention-seeking charade created in order to give a false hope for his blind followers.

The state party chairman wondered why it is after three quarters of the Aregbesola followers have taken appointments from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state that it occured to him that he would have to replace TOP with his new questionable political tendency.

He asked Aregbesola and his devotees if they have forgotten so soon that it was the verifiable mis-governance and his errors that the PDP feasted upon to campaign against all the APC candidates in the series of the elections that were held in the state.

In Lawal’s words: “Is it because Aregbesola has lost at the Federal level, Lagos and Osun states that he has resorted to lightening the gullible ones with pap in Osun State?

“It is worthwhile to remind Aregbesola at this juncture that those that he sent to the PDP government and are paying second fiddle are now regretting their actions and inactions.

“It is a pity that the former Osun State governor is not in tune with the fact that the people of the state are now wiser and they no longer trust him.

“Aregbesola should know that the Osun State APC of today is intact unlike those inglorious years when he was dictating the pace as the governor, the state party chairman and the Speaker of the state House of Assembly.

“It should be known to Aregbesola that the Osun politics of the APC extraction of today is far better than what it used to be when he would be the sole contributor at party meetings.

“I will implore the immediate-past Minister of Interior to let the APC breath and take a deserving reset in order to be in tune with the political reality of today.

“The people of Osun State in general and the APC members in particular have gotten Aregbesola’s prank that it is when he wants to cause an havoc that he comes up with such a satanic inauguration.

“Is it not surprising that Aregbesola has turned himself to an instrument of the opposition by his actions and inactions!

“What informed the formation of a group by Aregbesola now when there is no election around the corner?

“It is disheartening and disgusting that Aregbesola could stoop so low to have relegated himself to a sectional APC leader in Ilesa.

“It is worthwhile to inform Aregbesola that since he wittingly walked out of the party that made him a minister about four years ago, the Osun State chapter of the APC has been made attractive.

“For instance, after Aregbesola’s exit from the APC, there was a smooth transition; quality people have been joining the party while the same cannot be said of the ruling party in the state.

“After Aregbesola’s exit from the party that he failed to vote in any of the elections in the party, we have been producing ministers, National Secretaries among other political officers.

“Has it ever appealed to Aregbesola in his subconscious that he is being bugged down by low self-esteem and domineering spirit in his journey of life?

“Why is it that he is always not at ease where he cannot dominate the other persons?

“It is doubtful if he has ever thought it necessary to remember those patriots who lost their lives during the 30-month litigation that heralded his becoming the state governor between 2007 and 2010?

“Again, we are not unaware of his ferocious search for pliable judicial officers through whom he intends to rock the administrative boat of the APC from the backdoor.

“But mark it, if a wicked man makes a statement, it isn’t a wicked man that will effect the judgement. Aregbesola, enough is enough”, Lawal cautioned.
