The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, citing alleged anti-party activities.
In a formal resolution submitted to the APC National Secretariat and directed to National Chairman Dr. Umar Ganduje, the Osun APC accused Aregbesola, also a former governor of the state, of fostering division within the party by forming a splinter faction.

This alleged action was seen as a threat to the party’s unity, particularly during a sensitive phase in Osun politics.
The party’s Osun branch claims that Aregbesola’s influence has intensified internal rifts, with leaders stating that his support for specific groups has stirred significant discord.
This suspension represents a firm step by the state chapter to address perceived disloyalty and stabilize leadership as future elections approach.
Responses from Aregbesola’s camp are anticipated as the situation develops.
