The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Governor of Osun State, over alleged anti-party activities.
Aregbesola, who led Osun State for two terms, was accused of breaching Article 21 of the APC Constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.
The expulsion was confirmed in an official letter from the party leadership, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” and signed jointly by Tajudeen Lawal, State Chairman, and Alabisi Kamoru, Secretary.

The letter stated that the decision followed an investigation and approval by the State Executive Committee (SEC).
According to the letter, “At the end of the investigation, the SEC considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.”
The APC alleged that Aregbesola’s actions had undermined the unity and integrity of the party, warning him against identifying as a member or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.
Aregbesola had previously led a faction within the APC known as The Osun Progressives, which was later rebranded as the Omoluabi Caucus.

The faction had been in conflict with the state party leadership. His expulsion followed a meeting of the Omoluabi Caucus on Sunday, during which the group, under his leadership, announced its decision to leave the APC.
At the meeting, Aregbesola reportedly told supporters, “We are leaving to build a stronger political movement.” Meanwhile, APC officials in Osun State have maintained that the disciplinary action was necessary to restore order within the party.
“The party cannot tolerate disloyalty and divisive actions,” an official stated.
