No son of Aregbesola was arrested for money laundering

It has become pertinent to inform Nigerians and others generally that there is no iota of truth in the story being peddled around by some misguided elements claiming that a son of Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Kabir Aregbesola was arrested at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos today Tuesday May 12, 2015 with a huge sum of money in foreign currencies.

We have discovered the the authors of the wicked  and malicious lie are doggedly pursuing their agenda by engaging in an aggressive push for the falsehood to reach a larger population especially using the social media.

The younger Aregbesola neither traveled anywhere nor had any encounter with any security personnel today. It is obvious the evil minds at work are out to drag an innocent young man’s name into this dirt in order to get at his father.

Aregbesola has maintained a life of a moderate family man with a set of highly disciplined children who cannot be found wanting on issues of morals and societal values

Members of the public are therefore urged to dismiss the falsehood because it is just another handiwork of mischievous minds.

Mr know it all, the course they're championing, how has it affected the lives of people?. That's what I'm asking and please you should be smart enough to know that having aims and objectives is something every organization has, but the far reaching effect of the aims and objectives is what makes that organization stand out!.

So Mr I'm not ignorant, kindly give me statistics about how this has affected the lives of people, both locally and internationally.

And please learn to debate with facts and figures bro, not aims and objectives....

I just heard that Aregbesola's son was arrested at
Muritala Mohamed Airport today in possession of
$800,000, that is N170million Naira equivalent. He was
on his way outside the country.
Same Aregbesola that couldn't pay the Osun workers
their almost 7 months salaries can afford to give his
son N170million naira, equivalent to $800,000?
If they don't kill this news and it is confirmed, I'll say
Osun people got the governor they deserved.

APC Osun State Gov Rauf Aregbesola Son, Kabiru arrested in Lagos MMA1 enroute UAE with over N178million #MoneyLaundering
This afternoon at the departure wing of the Muritala Muhammed Airport II, Lagos, there was a littlepandemonium over the arrest of a young man identified as Kabiru by people around and later identified as the son of the Osun State Governor over a huge sum of money being caught in his luggage as it was not accounted for by the young man.
Acccording to the eye witness who identified himself as Mr Steven Adebola told NGReports that while the environment was brought to calm after some calls were made to the senior immigration officers and finally the presence of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola which led to the conclusion that he’s his son and the whole issue was settled in a senior officer’s office!
Text messages were sent to the Commissioner of Information of the State of Osun’s Government on the incidence as we asked if that was the remaining funds for campaign being laundered out of the country but he denied the purpose of the funds though he confirmed the presidential campaign funds were still remaining.
Investigations are still being done on the incident

OSUN State workers have given Governor Rauf Aregbesola 14 days to pay their outstanding six month salary arrears of face a full blown strike in what has been a difficult 24 hours for the governor whose son was arrested in Lagos for attempted money laundering. Civil servants in Osun State have not been paid for six months now, forcing the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to issue the governor with an ultimatum. After a meeting between the unions and the government failed to resolve the matter, Governor Aregbesola has been given two weeks to pay the outstanding arrears of face full strike action. This latest development comes at the same time that Governor Aregbesola's son Kabiru was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos with N178m ($912,820) in cash stocked in his luggage. According to airport sources, Kabiru Aregbesola was on his way to the United Arab Emirates when he was apprehended after an airport scan revealed the money. Unconfirmed reports indicate that upon being arrested, Kabiru is said to have called his father who rushed down to Lagos and requested to see the immigration officers that arrested his son. According to the eyewitnesses, Governor Aregbesola then held a meeting with the officials in a senior officer's office, where the matter was resolved. Although that issue might have been resolved, Governor Aregbesola still faces the threat of a full blown strike as his government is one of those incapable of clearing the backlog of salary arrears due to a reduction of the federal allocation. According to labour sources, a meeting held yesterday between representatives of the Osun State government and a joint negotiating council, representing the workers, was inconclusive and fruitless.

If this woman has any goodwill left in her and will set aside her bitterness, she should request that the vice President of the body double as interim President until a new election can be held after May 29th. She has the power to set up the position for Aisha.

I don't expect such gracefulness because Patience is a sore loser.

Adewuyi explained that Mrs. Jonathan was
elected President in July 2012 and was meant to
serve for two years, according to the group’s
internal regulation.

He further said that while her tenure ought to
have ended in 2014, when a fresh election should
have held, the President’s wife drew the attention
of her colleagues to the then forthcoming election
in Nigeria, which preparation would not enable
her host the summit.

Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday denied media reports that her plan to host the 8th summit of the African First Ladies Peace Mission on Friday is designed to deny the wife of the President-elect, Hajia Aisha Buhari, the opportunity of becoming the President of the mission.

Mrs. Jonathan, who is the current President, had summoned a meeting of the mission during which new executive members are expected to emerge.

Media reports had it that the election would have been held in July but the President’s wife brought it back to May to allow her successor to emerge before her husband will cease to be President from May 29.

But a statement by Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, on Tuesday said there was no truth in the reports.

Adewuyi explained that Mrs. Jonathan was elected President in July 2012 and was meant to serve for two years, according to the group’s internal regulation.

He further said that while her tenure ought to have ended in 2014, when a fresh election should have held, the President’s wife drew the attention of her colleagues to the then forthcoming election in Nigeria, which preparation would not enable her host the summit.

According to him, Mrs. Jonathan therefore proposed that the summit should hold after the general elections, and it was accordingly agreed that it should be held in July 2015.

Adewuyi however added that there was an understanding among members that if President Goodluck Jonathan did not succeed in his re-election bid, the President’s wife would convene the summit in May to enable the election of a new President and ensure a smooth handover since her tenure has ended.

The statement read in part, “Arising from the above, it is therefore clear that this is not a personal matter nor specifically a Nigeria sole affair but a continental platform governed by its own rules and protocols just as similar international organisations.

“It would therefore be out of place for anyone to insinuate that it is intended to shut out the incoming First Lady. This cannot be farther from the truth.

“We state therefore without any iota of equivocation that it is mischievous for anyone to scheme to cause disaffection between the outgoing and incoming First Ladies, Dame Patience Jonathan, and Hajia Aisha Buhari.

“Let us therefore come together in our tradition of hospitality to heartily welcome our guests, the African First Ladies, as they arrive Abuja for the 8th Summit of the Mission.

“Let us always remember that the personal ambition of anybody is not worth destroying the image of the nation.”

At the meeting, the governors requested to drop
the list of possible ministers with Buhari, but their
request was rebuffed by the President-elect who
reminded them that the Constitution does not
compel him to take a list of ministerial nominees
from them.

The president-elect also refused to accept the
request for a bailout for the states that have
been unable to pay their workers salaries, with a
source saying the General rejected the proposal.
He told them that he was aware the Federal
Government was not owing the states their
allocations.
The source close to the discussion told the
Nigerian Tribune that Buhari told the governors
that those of them in their second terms do not
have any excuse about the state of government
finances, as they have all been collecting
allocations from the Federal Government
