The minister of Interior of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Rauf Aregbesola who was a political associate of the chieftain of the ruling party and presidential hopeful, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, appear to have fallen out with each other.
The former governor of Osun state while speaking at a factional meeting of the All Progressive Congress in Osun state ahead of the APC's gubernatorial primary election, accused Bola Ahmed Tinubu of double standard, unreliability, and betrayal.
In his speech, he indirectly referred to a viral video of Bola Tinubu during his visit to the Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, in Abeokuta, Ogun, in which Bola Tinubu allegedly urinated on himself: "won ti n to Ara"( they are urinating on themselves) Aregbesola said while speaking.
He accused Bola Tinubu of imposing the0 current governor of Osun state, Gboyega Oyetola on the people of Osun and against the will of the party's loyalists. He further claimed that despite his years of unwavering loyalty to Bola Tinubu that he has betrayed him and the party's loyalists while making himself a god.
In his words: “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 him (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 he (Tinubu) will hand over the present governor to me around July of 2018, he (Tinubu) declared that he (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”
