Osun State Government, on Tuesday, denied a claim that there
was a plan to assassinate Minister of Interior and former governor of the
state, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Sunday Akere, Special Adviser to Governor Gboyega Oyetola on
Political Matters, made the clarification while addressing All Progressives
Congress (APC) party members at the residence of Chief Bisi Akande, in
Ila-Oragun area of the state.
Akere said that there was no truth in the claim, adding that
some ‘political hoodlums’ were only trying to cause crisis in the state.
Abiodun Agboola, Publicity Secretary of the APC faction
loyal to Aregbesola, had in a statement, alleged that there was a plot to
assassinate the minister.
“We wish to inform
the general public and security agencies of a plot to kill the Minister of
Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, by default by the state government-sponsored
political thugs.
“We say by default because the plan is to lay ambush for the
minister’s entourage and deal it massive attacks on his way to visit Iwo on
Tuesday,’’ Akere had alleged in a statement.
Addressing party faithful, however, Akere said: “There is no
truth in the claim that there are plans to assassinate Aregbesola.
