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.

Why Women Contract HIV More Than Men Finally Explained wanisheik Aug 27, 2021 Over the years, females all over the world have contracted HIV more than their male counterparts. But that wasn' t what we were made to believe in the past. There used to be a perception that men were at a higher risk of contracting the virus than women. As of mid- 1996, the Joint UN Program on AIDS evaluated that out of the twenty- five million adults infected with HIV, over ten million are women. The percentage of women who test positive for HIV has been on the rise, with nearly half of the 7500 new cases recorded daily found among them. Also, most cases of the virus detected in women are in developing countries. The Ghana Aids Commission states that of the 342, 307 people living with HIV in Ghana, 122, 231 are males whereas 219, 986 are females. This means that the number of women living with the virus in Ghana is almost twice that of the number of men living with it. A study conducted by Pubmed in Kis...
