Osun 2022: I belong to TOP - Aregbesola

Former governor of Osun State and minister of interior, Rauf Aregbesola has declared that he belongs to The Osun Progressives, a factional group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State.

The minister, who made this known at the inauguration of a Digital Nigeria Centre (DNC) at the Muslim Grammar School, Ilesa, pointed out that, there were two factions of the party in the state out of which he belonged to “The Osun Progressive”(TOP) being led by a former state chairman of the party, Mr Lowo Adebiyi and which has Abdulrasak Salensile as its chairman.

The group regularly attacks Oyetola and his government in the media as the state braces up for the governorship election coming up July 16 this year.

Aregbesola stated that his political structure in Osun State remained formidable, stressing that, “the APC is sharply divided in Osun and I belong to the TOP. I am TOP inside out. Salensile is our party chairman, that’s my own chairman. Everybody is doing their own but when it is time, we will reshape the party.

The declaration comes about 183 days to the governorship election in the state.
