Chairman of ‘The Osun Progressives,’ a faction in All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Lowo Adebiyi, on Sunday, said no reconciliation yet between Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola and Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State.
The Osun Progressives is believed to be loyal to Aregbesola, who is also a former governor of the state.
The group, backed by Aregbesola during the last governorship primary of APC in the state, had supported a former Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, against incumbent Governor Oyetola, who eventually won the party’s ticket.
Initially, both men had denied being at loggerheads, but days before the primary election exposed deep-seated ill feelings between the duo.
However, pictures of Oyetola and Aregbesola locked in warm embrace had, on Sunday, surfaced on the social media with accompanying words suggesting that the two men had reconciled.
But when contacted for a reaction, Adebiyi said members of Ileri Oluwa, the campaign group of Governor Oyetola were circulating the pictures.
He said no reconciliation yet between the two men.
In the words of Adebiyi, “They are old pictures. Members of Ileri Oluwa group are behind it. Disregard them. If there will be reconciliation, it is not pictures that you will see first. The discussion will be held first. No discussion yet. Nothing happened. No reconciliation yet.”
