Oyetola just came to destroy our party – APC chairman
Governor Gboyega Oyetola caused his own defeat at the Saturday’s governorship poll, said party chieftain Rasaq Salinsile. Oyetola had lost to Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Salinsile is the chairman of the faction loyal to former governor and interior minister auf Aregbesola.
According to him, “Oyetola’s politics of segregation” cost the APC victory at the poll.
He said he had run to party leaders to intervene in the crisis, but they failed to take action.
“It is an obvious fact that Governor Isiaka Oyetola came to destroy our party.
“We all worked as a united family to install him as governor in spite of all odds. But the moment he got there, he started politics of segregation and divide and rule tactics which he thought he could use to whip everybody back in line; particularly, he was against anything Aregbesola.
“How on earth can you be a Chief of Staff to a sitting governor for good eight years and pretended to him to be what you were not. I have never met that kind of person in my life and I am not a young man.
“He was not yet sworn in when he started the segregation, politics of hatred. Anybody that have anything to do with the immediate past governor of the state, Aregbesola; automatically, you become one of the members in his black book.
“How can the leader of a house behave that way and you think that house will be peaceful? We said it severally without mincing words so that those who have ears will hear. “We went to our leaders starting with Baba Akande to the national chairman of the APC. Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) sent one Alhaji Masari from Katsina state to us; he was the place holder for the APC presidential candidate.
“He said our resolutions should be written down that he would come back the following day to collect it, saying Asiwaju gave him that assignment. Up till today, we have not seen him.
“Every time, he will always disappoint. He later said the matter was beyond his power. In whose power was it then? “That means there is somebody somewhere remote-controlling him. This result was expected.”
