The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, says “fifth columnists” in and outside the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are standing in the way of reconcilliation between him and the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Both men were close allies until their relationship soured over a dispute between Mr Aregbesola and his successor as governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola.

Angry that Mr Oyetola abandoned some of his legacy policies and also kept many of his loyalists out of government, Mr Aregbesola opposed the governor’s renomination by the APC for last year’s governorship election.

At a meeting ahead of the party’s primary, the minister castigated Mr Tinubu for refusing to withdraw his support for the then governor.

The outcome of the election added to the rift as Mr Aregbrsola and his supporters were believed to have connived in the defeat of Mr Oyetola.

The minister has also been accused of lukewarmness to the presidential bid of Mr Tinubu.

But, Mr Aregbesola in a statement by his media adviser, Sola Fasure, on Wednesday said his rift with the APC flagbearer would have been resolved but for some people within and outside the APC, who are frustrating the reconciliatory moves.

“A pattern has clearly emerged of sinister and coordinated effort to frustrate the reconciliatory moves being championed by notable stakeholders within and beyond our party to rally all necessary factors for the success of our Party at the February 2023 Presidential Election,” he

“Just last week, jittery politicians, who are authors of this malicious manuscript, paid a handful of rent-a-crowd comedians to react to a non-existent ‘attack’ and regurgitate the storyline again, with the intention to frustrate a series of reconciliation steps for their selfish interest,” he added.

“We urge well-meaning Nigerians to be wary of the evil machinations of this cult of fifth columnists, whose sole business is to cause disaffection, manufacture distractions and sow discord within the APC and the progressive fold,” he urged.

“For the umpteenth time, the general public is advised to note that Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is focused on delivering key reforms in the Ministry of Interior and its agencies as championed by President Muhammadu Buhari, and also ensure that the APC emerges

Aregbe will be disgraced and forced out of politics for betraying the hand that fed him during his hunger days.
Jagaban is our mandate.
Nigeria must be great.

Toosure70:
Aregbe made Tinubu as well. Go and ask, Aregbe delivered alimoso votes that made Tinubu governor for 2 times. Tinubu caused the whole wahala for not allowing his boy to have political dominance in their states . Why would Tinubu force candidates on his boys in their states after dominated Lagos already. So if he loses power , all of them will just collapse together Abi. Osun no be Lagos man

Tribal:
I don't want to hear any of these myopic People mortgaging the chance of Tinubu Presidency Cry here when the Fs soon after the Election starts using Federal Might to brutally .... them as usual on their very own Ancestral Fatherlands. Surely they can't allow Obi to come near Presidency, only a Yoruba President can help ensure Igbos Presidency. I was thinking Obi and Igbos would be wise enough to quickly Negotiate with Tinubu this Month to become Elected to spend the remaining 4 Years after Tinubu's first 4 Years that is to Start this Year 2023. This is the most Sensible, Realistic and Wisest Option for the Igbos, as Tinubu has been known to always honour Agreement. In fact, the Igbo that takes over after Tinubu's 4 Years can spend 8 Years and then pass Power back to another Southerner because the South really Deserves to Rule for the Next 32 Years considering that the North has callously and Heartlessly held on to Power for almost all the Time after Independence! Only Yorubas can work out things with Igbos. As for the F People, You know them and their Mission very well. Does Snakes change from being Snakes?! How come some think Fs would allow Obi, or that one of them that is being positioned to Continue in Power would not ensure the Unprecedented Level of Wickedness against Ancestral Owners of Nigerians that they have in Plan.
