Osun State’s political landscape is witnessing a major shift following the expulsion of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the exit of the Omoluabi Progressives faction.
While some residents see this as a step toward political clarity, others fear potential instability.
The APC has dismissed the Omoluabi Progressives’ departure, with its Osun Director of Media, Kola Olabisi, calling it “good riddance to bad rubbish.”
However, Aregbesola’s supporters argue that his contributions to the party are being overlooked.
Amid speculations of political realignments ahead of the 2026 governorship election, Aregbesola has vowed to provide leadership that will elevate Osun State.
Meanwhile, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has extended an invitation to the departing faction, further fueling discussions on Osun’s evolving political dynamics.
