Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has hinted that he regretted working for Adegboyega Oyetola to become Governor of Osun in 2018.
Aregbesola, who dropped the bombshell at Ikire in Irewole Local Government Area during the consultation tour and presentation of former Secretary to the Osun State Governor, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti as the group’s governorship aspirant in the Saturday primary election, said he has realized his mistakes, that the person that was supposed to be put forward was neglected.
According to him, Oyetola has continued to wage war against him since his emergence, adding that the governor has always believed that he did not want him to emerge in the first place.
“I served this State with the whole of my heart; I also served Oyetola so that he can succeed me in office.
“When we came to this Ikire for his campaign, we were drenched in rain from Akire’s palace to this place. He is now in that office, he now claims that I am his enemy. Those who contested against him during our party primary were the ones he pulled closer while he fights me.
“I sent people to help me beg him, not that i asked that he should like me but that he shouldn’t abuse me or destroy my legacies but he wouldn’t listen.
“All that I told and warned him not to do, was what he did. He oppose what I did, all the things I did together with him for eight years, he opposed and reversed.
“He thought he can destroy me through my work, nobody was pushing him, he is pushing himself. He deliberately tows that path. He has deliberately waged war against me”.
“When I observed that he would not listen I decided to call people to chart a way forward because i believe that progressives family must not be destroyed”.
“We are the ones that bear the flag of this party, we fought for it since 2004. The owner can not stand while his possession is destroyed. Those people who don’t know how we built the party are unpredictable, they can do and undo”
“The party chairman, Famodun, was poached from PDP, he may return to that party, we must be careful so as not to allow him lead us astray.
