The crisis the All Progressives Congress in Osun State is suffering got assumed another dimension on Saturday when a group loyal to the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, held a parallel congress.
Aregbesola is the predecessor of Governor Gboyega Oyetola, who is in control of what is believed to be the mainstream body.
Although Oyetola was his Chief of Staff for eight years, there is no love lost between them.
‘The Nation’ reports that there was tension at the Ogo-Oluwa area via Ladsol where the loyalists of the minister are holding the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Congress on Saturday.
“The loyalists under a group within the party named The Osun Progressives (TOP) gathered to endorse the Caretaker Secretary of the party, Hon Rasaq Salinsile as chairman.
“”The Nation gathered operatives of the Nigeria Security Civil Defense Corps(NSCDC) shot sporadically into the air to prevent suspected thugs from invading the premises where the Congress was holding,” it added.
