Rauf Aregbesola, a former strong political ally of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been expelled from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aregbesola who served as the governor of Osun State for eight years was suspended by the APC over allegations of anti-party activities.
Recall that the former minister was said to have formed a faction within the party’s chapter in Osun known as, “The Osun Progressives” (TOP).
Now rebranded as the Omoluabi Caucus, the faction group of the APC in Osun was accused of being the major contributing factor to the party’s loss in the 2022 gubernatorial poll.
The party faction during a meeting on Sunday announced the decision for its members to exit the APC over a declining popularity of the party in Osun state.
