Aregbesola's Life Under Threat, Says APC Omoluabi Caucus

The Omoluabi Progressives Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has raised the alarm over threat to the life of the immediate past Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola.

The APC group said that there was a clear threat to Aregbesola's life and freedom in an article released by Ismail Omipidan, the media aide to former governor of the state, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola.

In a statement signed yesterday in Osogbo by the Organising and Publicity Secretary of the Omoluabi caucus, Mr. Abosede Oluwaseun, the group said that the threat to Aregbesola's life could not be overlooked going by the previous attacks on the former governor of the state and his loyalists in the recent past.

The caucus quoted Omipidan as saying: “Yet with the feeling of self-importance, he continues to wage war against the structure which brought him into limelight.

“But let me say for the umpteenth time that if Aregbesola continues his political war against the party and persons that brought him to political reckoning, he may not survive it.”

The caucus called on security agencies in the state to investigate Omipidan's statement and prevent any attempt on Aregbesola's life.

A copy of the statement made available to THISDAY yesterday reads: “An article came out recently from Ismail Omipidan, the media aide to Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, the immediate past governor of Osun State, titled ‘What Does Aregbesola Want from Oyetola?'

“We urgently draw the attention of the law enforcement agencies and all responsible individuals to the evident and explicit threats against the life and freedom of Mr. Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola, clearly expressed in this hostile narrative.

“Omipidan's assertions betray a deeper and more insidious conspiracy and subterfuge by his sponsors.

“For context, Omipidan and his sponsors are not only playing God which they are grossly incompetent and unqualified to do, they are certainly hatching a very dangerous, sinister and diabolical plan against Aregbesola, which must not be overlooked.
