Sola Fasure, Media Adviser to the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has given reasons the minister did not attend the All Progressives Congress mega rally held in Osogbo Osun State, on Tuesday.
The rally was to promote the candidacy of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola towards reelection on Saturday.
Many party chiefs, including the Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu; and presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, attended the rally.
Buy Aregbesola, who is Oyetola’s predecessor, was absent.
Both are not in good terms, to the extent that stakeholders are not sure how the minister’s faction will vote on Saturday.
Speaking on why he was absent at the campaign, however, Fasure said he was not invited.
Also, he said Aregbesola was not a member of the campaign council while he had another official programme in Lagos.
When asked why his principal did not attend the rally, the media adviser to the Interior Minister, Mr Sola Fasure, said Aregbesola was not invited for the event.
Fasure added: “He is not a member of the campaign committee, but officially he went to the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos. It was an official visit. He was not invited (for Osun rally). He is not in the campaign council. He was not invited by either the candidate or the party. There is also a case in court because he supported a candidate, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, and the case will come up on Thursday.”
