Shehu Sani Reacts To Rift Between Tinubu, Aregbesola And Oyetola

Former Kaduna Central Senator and human rights activist, Shehu Sani has revealed his opinion on the ongoing rift between three popular politicians in the southwest.

The former lawmaker in a tweet on Friday morning shared his opinion about the political disagreement involving the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and 2023 presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, and the Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola.

It is believed that the politicians who all belong to the ruling APC are locked in a battle for supremacy in Osun State.

It will be recalled that Aregbesola on Monday said Tinubu, who he had once trusted politically, betrayed him.

The former governor of Osun State on Monday lamented Tinubu’s involvement and lackadaisical attitude towards the poor governance of the incumbent Osun Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

Aregbesola accused Tinubu and former APC interim chairman and ex-governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, of foisting Oyetola on the people against the popular will.

The Minister frowned at the development and declared that enough is enough for the politics of godfatherism and enthronement by treacherous leaders who equated themselves to the status of a god.

Aregbesola also declared a former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti as his preferred candidate to emerge the next Governor of the state against a second term bid for Oyetola.

Shortly after his declaration, gunmen reportedly attacked the Minister’s convoy in Osun State even as the Police and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps gave conflicting reports about the incident.

The State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola however debunked allegations that his government was behind the attack on the Minister’s convoy and was planning to assassinate Aregbesola.

Amidst the claims and counter-claims, the relationship between the trio is obviously deteriorating.

Reacting to the saga, Sani called on traditional rulers and religious leaders in the region to broker peace between the warring parties.

He wrote: “I suggest that respected monarchs and religious leaders from the South West should intervene and make peace between Oyetola, Rauf, and the Jagaban.”
