JUST IN : APC EXPELS AREGBESOLA OVER ANTI-PARTY ACTIVITIES
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, over alleged involvement in anti-party activities.
Aregbesola, who served two terms as Governor of Osun State, had led a faction within the APC called The Osun Progressives, later renamed the Omoluabi Caucus.
A letter from the APC leadership, obtained by news outlets on Wednesday, officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.
The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.
The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.
“The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
The former minister’s expulsion came after a meeting on Sunday of the Omoluabi Caucus, led by Aregbesola, where the group declared its decision to leave the APC, citing the party’s diminishing influence in Osun.
