Aregbesola calls for unity among APC Members in Osun

Rauf Aregbesola, immediate past minister of interior, has assured his supporters in the Osun chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of his readiness to cater for their welfare.

Aregbesola spoke in Osogbo on Saturday during a luncheon organised for him by friends and loyalists as part of activities marking his homecoming.

During the event, the former minister called for unity among members of Osun APC.

Aregbesola said his return will lead to the restrengthening of the party in the state.

Osun APC has been rocked by crises in the last few years following an internal feud between Aregbesola and Gboyega Oyetola, his successor.

Political pundits have said the infighting contributed to Oyetola’s defeat in the July 2022 gubernatorial poll.

According to Aregbesola, to foster reconciliation, leaders of the party would visit members across the state.

“I am deeply grateful to you, all. You have all shown me uncommon love and the reassurance that you are indeed with us,” NAN qouted Aregbesola as saying.

“We are grateful. We will not let you down. We will soon begin a statewide tour to see all of our people and to assure them that we are fully back to see to their welfare.

“We are fully committed to strengthening the APC.”
