MINISTER of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, isn’t in Osun State for the governorship election because of an official assignment.
Aregbesola’s media adviser, Sola Fasure, confirmed his absence today.
Aregbesola had publicly moved against the second-term ambition of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.
Instead, Aregbesola endorsed the former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, who later lost to Oyetola at the APC governorship primary election held on February 19.
It was learnt that the minister was in Lagos State on Thursday before travelling to Abuja yesterday.
And according to Fasure,“He (Aregbesola) proceeded on an official assignment on Friday”.
The media aide noted that Aregbesola was not invited to work for Oyetola’s second-term bid in Osun.
He also said the minister was not named in the Osun State campaign team by the All Progressives Congress.
He said, “Aregbesola is not in Oshogbo. He is on an official assignment. He was not invited and not a part of the election council. The governor did not also invite him to be part of the campaign.”
