The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, yesterday, declared that a former governor of the state, Rauf Aregbesola, is no longer a member of the party in the state.
The Osun APC also said that the Omoluabi Progressives group, which is one of the caucuses of the major opposition party being led by Aregbesola, is unknown to the party and warned members against associating with the group or registering with it.
The state’s APC Secretary, Kamoru Alao, during a media briefing at the party’s secretariat, described Aregbesola as a persona non grata as far as Osun APC is concerned, adding that the former governor has been reported to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party for allegedly distracting the party in the state.
Reacting, the media aide to Aregbesola, Sola Fasure, said the APC’s response showed that the major opposition party is in disarray.
He said “The (Osun APC) members are paranoid and apoplectic about anything Aregbesola is involved in.
“Their response shows they are in total disarray. They urgently need to see their doctor.”
Meanwhile, the state chapter of the APC, yesterday, warned its members to be wary of unlawful registration exercises being organised by some individuals, saying that the party has not commenced electronic registration as proposed by its national leadership.
The APC Chairman in the state, Tajudeen Lawal, while dwelling on the communique of the Osun APC stakeholders’ meeting held at the APC secretariat, located at Ogo Oluwa area of Osogbo, the APC cautioned its members to ignore such registration exercise.
He said that the meeting became imperative to review the party’s activities ahead of the upcoming electronic membership registration.
Lawal hinted that membership registration as directed by the national secretariat of the party would commence next week, urging all the party organs to prepare for the exercise.
