We won’t miss Aregbesola, supporters – Osun APC

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it will not miss the exit of  the Omoluabi Progressives from the party.

The Omoluabi Progressives has been a faction of the APC in Osun loyal to a former State Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

Aregbesola also  former Minister  of  the Interior and the faction had announced their intention to quit the APC.

They had cited  ostracism, suspension,  expulsion of members without fair hearing of the members of the group, among other things as reasons for their decision.

But in a statement released on Monday in Osogbo, Osun APC spokesperson Kola Olabisi, said their exit was of no significance since they had severed  ties with the party since 2022.

He said, “In the first instance, the kernel of the statement by the dissidents’ group amounted to a confused pack of rudderless political…who were approbating and reprobating at the same time, as it is on record that a sizeable number of them have either been expelled or suspended from the party.

“How would any rational human being who has been suspended or expelled announce his resignation to the whole world again? Is that not an example of superfluity? We, in the Osun State APC, shall be happy to miss the political irritants and deviants who had since left the party by way of body and soul before the 2022 governorship election in the state.”

Adding, he said, “The ambulatory Omoluabi Progressives believe they are more progressive in Nigeria than the real progenitors of the progressives party having no respect for the elders and their political benefactors.”
