Aregbesola, Oyetola’s Camps Say No Reconciliation Yet

Chairman of ‘The Osun Progressives,” a faction in the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, on Sunday, said no reconciliation yet between the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; and the State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.

The Osun Progressives, backed by Aregbesola during the last governorship primary of APC in the state, had supported a former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, against Oyetola, who eventually won the party’s ticket.

Initially, both men had denied being at loggerheads, but days before the primary election exposed deep seated ill-feelings between them.

However, pictures of Oyetola and Aregbesola in a warm embrace  had on Sunday surfaced on the social media with accompanying caption suggesting that the two men had reconciled.

But when contacted for reaction, the chairman of The Osun Progressives, Mr. Lowo Adebiyi, accused members of Ileri Oluwa, the campaign group of Oyetola, of circulating the pictures.

“They are old pictures. Members of Ileri Oluwa group are behind it. Disregard them. If there will be reconciliation, it is not pictures that you will see first. Discussion will be held first. No discussion yet. Nothing happened. No reconciliation yet,” Adebiyi said.
