Osun 2022: Gov Oyetola will lose, no power can save him says Aregbesola’s ex-aide Alimi
….We were alienated because of our loyalty to Aregbesola
Former Osun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Kolapo Alimi, has predicted that Governor Gboyega Oyetola will loss in the coming election in the state.
Speaking during his official defection to the Peoples Democratic Party in Osogbo on Wednesday, Alimi said “Oyetola of the APC will lose in this state. There is no amount of power or threat that can save him. He has come and has divided the party, those people who actually worked for him, he made sure he alienated them.”
According to him, Oyetola excluded a host of them because of their loyal to the former governor of the state, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola (now Minister of Interior).
“Aregbesola is a member of the APC. He definitely cannot be in support but we have be alienated of our loyalty to Aregbesola. You cannot get any benefit from Oyetola government, no matter your contribution. We cannot continue to do that, that’s why we move out.”
“He (Oyetola) usually say he would use red carpet to the government house that why he doesn’t know the value of that office and how to protect it, today his stay in the government house are numbered”.
