OSUN 2023:Why the defeat of Aregbesola's Anointed Candidate Could Force Him Out Of APC:Membis247Blog

It is no longer news that the incumbent Governor of Osun state, Gboyega Oyetola, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-bearer for the July 16, 2022 governorship election. According to reports, the Governor defeated his nearest rival, Moshood Adeoti, with over 200,000 votes to emerge as the winner of the party’s primaries held on Saturday, January 19, 2022.

It should be recalled that prior to the primaries, a former Governor of the state, Rauf Aregbesola, who is the current Minister of Interior, had backed Mr. Moshood, following his fallout with Governor Gboyega Oyetola, and his former political ally, Bola Tinubu. The minister who is currently alleging foul play during the primaries, has not hidden his disapproval of Gboyega Oyetola’s re-election bid.

Aregbesola’s kick against Gboyega Oyetola, who enjoys the support of Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the APC, and a 2023 presidential aspirant, has seen him involved in a loggerhead with the duo, who were once his political allies. However, his move to stop the emergence of Governor Oyetola as the APC flag-bearer for the 2022 Osun state governorship election, was unsuccessful.

With Rauf Aregbesola’s failure to secure the APC governorship ticket for Adeoti, and the ongoing feud between him, Bola Tinubu, and Governor Oyetola, I am of the view that he could be forced to leave the party through which he rose to become a Governor, and a Minister. The reason is that with the likelihood that Governor Oyetola would secure a second term election, the Minister could be sidelined in the state.

At the same time, with Bola Tinubu’s push to emerge as Nigeria’s next President, and his chances of victory, the Minister could also be pushed out at national level. Should this ever be the case, Aregbesola may be left with no other option that to seek an alternative party, where he would be heard. The need to remain politically relevant, and a force to reckon with both in his state, and on a national level, could force him to dump the PDP.

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.

Lagos State Police Personnel's Spreading Bullet Across The Lekki toll Gate Now:Membis247Blog

Four protesters were detained by members of the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos. The young people had gathered at the Lekki tollgate to commemorate the second national #EndSARS protest memorial. Youths from all around the nation protested in the streets in October 2020 to call for an end to extrajudicial killings by the defunct elite anti-robbery squad and police abuse (SARS). The tollgate was the epicentre of the protests. Youths who gathered day and night at the tollgate were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which led to the loss of lives. Meanwhile, the security operatives also assaulted journalists covering the event. One of the protesters who spoke to SaharaReporters said, “The police have arrested four people despite the fact that everything is being done peacefully here. They are using tear gas and hot water to disperse peaceful protesters. Journalists were also assaulted,” he said.
