Former governor of Osun state, Rauf Aregbesola has revealed what the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, told him in 2018 while handing Gboyega Oyetola to him as his successor.
The Minister of Interior, who spoke in Ijebu Ijesa, Osun State on Monday while addressing APC faithful and stakeholders ahead of the party’s governorship primary, said he was assured Oyetola would be loyal to him.
According to him: “With suffering, pains and perseverance, we nurtured this party to the stage it is – with sweat, tears, blood and even lost lives,”
“After we served for eight years, it wasn’t only party members that benefitted from our administration, the entire state did. I went everywhere in Osun with projects.

“However, by the time my successor was handed over to me around May or July 2018, I was told, ‘Rauf, this is the ideal successor that would stand by you. He would further showcase your efforts. He would not betray you; he would not dim the light of your glory’.
“That was what the person, who handed him over to me said. If the person is listening to me, it would resonate with him, if he said so or not. But, did he do as he was vouched for?
“And when he reneged on these promises, did the person, who handed him over to me draw his attention to these failings? Anyway, isn’t the person the one we now see today?”
