For the first time, Asiwaju BolaAhmed’s closest political associate before they went their separate ways, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who’s the current Minister of Internal Affairs and leader of the rebel Abuja Boys, has openly attacked the Jagaban, his erstwhile Godfather.
Argebe has been fighting a running battle with Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, a cousin of Tinubu, who also served as Aregbe’s Chief of Staff when he was Osun State Governor. The battle centres on the control of the ruling APC party in the state and the second-term ambition of Governor Oyetola whose bid for another term is being opposed by Aregbe and his faction of the party.
Aregbe’s group prefers former- secretary to the Osun State Government, Moshood Adeoti. Tinubu, who installed Oyetola in a closely fought first-term election, would have none of that. So, the battle line is drawn now, Aregbe has accused Tinubu of playing God and taking the loyalty of his followers for granted.
