Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was conspicuously absent from the Osun All Progressives Congress guber rally, which drew ten governors and other party stalwarts on Tuesday in Osogbo.
Despite being listed as a guest speaker, the vice president did not attend the rally.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who is at odds with the state Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, who is running for re-election, was also absent.

According to Aregbesola’s media aide, Sola Fasure, the minister was not invited to the event, and the minister was attending an official event in Lagos on Tuesday.

According to Tracknews, Osinbajo’s defeat in the primary may have strained relations with some of the party’s leaders.
