In aftermath of electoral misfortune, Aregbesola faction moves for reconciliation in Osun APC

The “Osun Progressives” caucus of the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, mended a rift with the party’s leadership and declared its willingness to cooperate with other factions in an effort to retake power.

The faction also declared the dissolution of TOP, a group founded last year and backed by Rauf Aregbesola, the interior minister, and his successor, Adegboyega Oyetola, at the height of their disagreement. TOP was supported by Rauf Aregbesola.

Following the APC’s party congresses in 2021, TOP members had established and kept up a parallel party structure to the mainstream party, from the ward to the state level, with the backing of the governor Adegboyega Oyetola.
