Months after his suspension from the party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled the former Minister of Interior and ex-Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, over alleged anti-party activities.
Aregbesola’s expulsion was confirmed in an official letter from the party leadership, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities: Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You”, jointly signed by state chairman, Tajudeen Lawal and Secretary, Alao Olabisi Kamoru.
According to the letter, the decision followed an investigation and approval by the State Executive Committee, SEC.
Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor, was accused of breaching Article 21 of the APC constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members, alleging 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.
The letter reads in part: “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.” 
It should be recalled that Aregbesola had previously led a faction within the APC known as The Osun Progressives, which was later rebranded as the Omoluabi Caucus which 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 where Aregbesola reportedly told supporters that their departure was necessary due to the party’s declining influence in Osun State.
