The Osun State Chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP has get in touch with the immediate past minister of interior and former governor of Osun State Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola to join the party to move the state forward.
Aregbesola and his thousand of supporters earlier this week left All Progressives Congress, APC, amidst the suspension and expulsion of the tendency’s leaders without a fair hearing, and continuous denigration of the structure, among others.
The former minister of interior also stated that his Omoluabi Progressive group is open to joining any political party with progressive ideology through which the state can be the best reference point among the comity of states in Nigeria.
In a statement released by the Osun NNPP Chairman, Dr Tosin Odeyemi on Monday in Osogbo stated that his party has proven to be masses friendly with track record through the performance of Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf.
According to Odeyemi, “Nobody can say Ogbeni Aregbesola is a political liability in Osun. He is an asset, no doubt about that. Even his former political family knows the truth, they are only shying away from it, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been shouting around that he caused their downfall during the 2022 gubernatorial election.
“I am using this opportunity to appeal to Aregbesola to consider joining our great party, NNPP. Osun state is in the state of quagmire presently, we need a positive force to reclaim it.
“Having Aregbesola in Osun NNPP, no doubt will also boost the party’s chances during the 2027 general election in Nigeria
“Our ideas are the same. We all love to see the asses happy and living comfortably. We can do it together in Osun come 2026 and the history will be kind to us all. Therefore, with open arms, I wish to woo Ogbeni Aregbesola and his group to NNPP for a prosperous Osun”.
