The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled former governor and immediate past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, citing anti-party activities.

Aregbesola’s expulsion was confirmed in a letter signed by APC Chairman Tajudeen Lawal and Secretary Alao Olabisi Kamoru on Wednesday.

The letter stated: “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the disciplinary committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.”

The party accused Aregbesola of violating Article 21 of the APC Constitution, which governs members’ conduct and discipline, stating that his actions had undermined party unity and integrity.

The letter further read: “As a result, with the approval of your expulsion, you cease to be a member of the APC. You are not to hold yourself out as a member or act in any capacity on behalf of the party.”

The development comes just two weeks after Aregbesola’s faction, Omoluabi Progressives, announced its exit from the APC.

Omoluabi Progressives spokesperson, Abosede Oluwaseun, confirmed in a statement that members had voted to leave the party during a stakeholders’ meeting in Ilesa.
