Former governor of Osun State, now Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola has lambasted the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Aregbesola said; “Only God can terrify us, not man. Go and tell them wherever they are, we own this party. We own this Afenifere group.”

“We own this people-loving group started by our patriarchs – Obafemi Awolowo and Bola Ige. This is Elder Akande’s group before he temporarily left us. This is our party. Stop calling yourself a factional group; you are not a faction; you are the authentic APC.”

“We came back home to reposition our party to where it was meant to be because we followed the leading of our leader that we thought was a noble and reliable fellow.”

“We followed Tinubu dutifully with all sense of loyalty. Some people even thought that we were no longer Muslims because of how we cooperated with him.”

“We dealt with him without treachery but we never knew he planned evil for us. We exalted him beyond his status and he turned himself to a god over us and we had sworn to ridicule anyone who compare himself to God. God has no competitor; He is enough to be God.”

“We built this party on perseverance as well as sweat and blood. We lost a lot of people in this struggle but eventually, we came into government on November 27, 2010.”

“We were in government for eight years and governed according to the measure of God’s grace, everybody in Osun enjoyed our tenure.”

“When Tinubu will hand over the present governor to me around July of 2018, he declared that Oyetola will succeed me and continue my good works.”

“That was what he told me. He knows he has not done so if he is listening now and he has failed to call my successor to order.”

“That was how it was in Lagos at a time; a governor derailed and the party members unseated him using the ballot boxes. As it was in Lagos yesterday, so shall it be in Osun today. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.”
