Loyalists to Ex- Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has denied alleged defection from the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The group, under the aegis of Omoluabi Progressives, disclosed this in a statement issued yesterday by its Publicity Secretary, Abosede Oluwaseun.

In reaction to an online report stating their defection to a yet-to-be disclosed party, the group claimed it was another caucus who wanted Aregbesola out of the party and not his decision to defect.

The group’s alleged defection disclosed in a Facebook post by one Kamorudeen Adabanija whom the group disregarded, stressing that he is not authorized to speak on behalf of the group.

The statement read in part;”The online media is awash with a statement credited to Kamorudeen Adabanija stating that “Aregbesola, Loyalists Dump APC,” to mean that both the former Minister of Interior and his loyalists in the Omoluabi Progressives are no longer members of the APC and are moving to another party.

“We (Omoluabi Progressives) wish to declare that the statement is not true.

It is the other camp that wants our reverred leader and members of our caucus out of the party and have have declared us personal non-grata, as well as stated that they do not want us in the party anymore with their actions and inactions.
