They also requested that the CP should be replaced.

Recall that the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola lambasted his cronies, specifically those he once trusted politically, accusing them of betrayal.

Aregbesola accused Tinubu; a former APC interim chairman and ex-governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, of foisting the current governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola, on the people, against popular will.

Aregbesola, who leads an APC faction in the state and who had been engaged in a feud with his successor, Oyetola, accused the incumbent governor of not consolidating on his eight-year achievements.

The minister, who declared that the present administration in the state had deviated from the true tenets of the APC, also accused those at the helms of affairs of jettisoning true democracy and the principles which the party and its heroes stand for.

Aregbesola has been having a running tussle with Oyetola over what he termed poor leadership and over what appeared to be a struggle for the control of the APC organs in Osun State.

Aregbesola’s faction had pursued legal options to seek recognition as the authentic APC group in the state but the High Court of Osun State sitting at Ikire, presided over by Justice Sikiru Oke, recently, struck out a suit instituted by the group, The Osun Progressives – a group within the APC, in the state.

However, EKO HOT BLOG reports that on Wednesday the APC faction stormed headquarters of Osun State Police Command in Osogbo, protesting alleged bias of the operatives against the group.
