All Progressive Congress (APC) expelled former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola over alleged anti-party activities.
A letter signed by the party chairman and secretary in Osun State, Hon.Tajudeen Lawal and Olabisi Kamoru, accused Aregbesola of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.
Recall that Aregbesola gave a nod to the request of his loyalists to dump the All Progressives Congress APC at a meeting held in Ilesa on Sunday. At the meeting presided over by Aregbesola, the Omoluabi Progressives announced its decision to leave the APC, citing the party’s declining popularity in the state.
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 approved 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.”
