APC expels Aregbesola over alleged anti-party activities
THE All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, has expelled former Interior Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola over alleged anti-party activities.
Aregbesola and the APC in Osun have been at loggerheads over issues of anti-party activities during the 2022 governorship poll in the state and the 2023 general elections.
The APC in Osun State claimed that Aregbesola's actions fueled internal divisions, with party leaders asserting that his influence on certain groups has caused significant discord.
Following the resolution of Aregbesola's suspension to the National Secretariat, a response of the leadership to the APC in Osun State endorsing his expulsion was sent to the former governor through DHL on Friday, January 24, 2025, to his Ilesa residence.
The letter which was dated January 7, 2025, which was signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the State chapter, Tajudeen Lawal and Kamoru Alao, stated that Aregbesola has been suspended effective immediately.
The letter, which was addressed to the former Minister reads: "We write to formally bring to your attention the findings and resolution arising from the disciplinary process initiated concerning allegations of anti-party activities levelled against you by the Disciplinary Committee, where you were allowed to be heard by the principles of natural justice. At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee, SEC, considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee.
"Having carefully considered the findings and recommendations of the Committee, SEC has resolved to accept the recommendation of your immediate expulsion from the All Progressives Congress, APC. The decision was predicated on the clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the Party in violation of the provisions of Article 21 of the APC Constitution guiding the conduct and discipline of members.
"As a result, with the approval of your expulsion, you cease to be a member of APC. Consequently, you are not to hold yourself out as a member or act in any capacity on behalf of the party in any manner whatsoever.
"While acknowledging your past contributions to the Party, we trust that you will comply with this decision and act according to the directives in this communication."
