Ahead of the Osun State governorship main election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) set up for Saturday, a Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in Osun State has called on the federal government to sack the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, for supposedly promoting crisis in the state.

Aregbesola, a previous governor of the state has actually been having a running battle with his successor, Gboyega Oyetola over the control of the celebration in the state.

The spokesperson of the union, Mr. Wasiu Alli made the call while dealing with an interview on Thursday in Abuja.

The union stated Aregbesola had in the past one week has actually engaged in a public program of rascality, motivation of followers to behave in good manners that undermine the superintendence of the present administration in the State, denigration of elder statesmen, amongst numerous others.

It stressed that the current utterances of Aregbesola are currently warming the polity in the State to a point where homeowners now reside in fear.

The union mentioned that if the federal government fails to call Aregbesola to purchase and charge him to concentrate on his main duties instead of setting about causing civil unrest, he will wind up irritating the otherwise peaceful Osun State.

It added: “It is to be stated that the number of jailbreaks in the referenced duration is extraordinary in the over 60 years of existence of the country. This discusses the administrative incompetence of Mr. Aregbesola whose superintendence over the Interior Ministry has seen it degenerate into one that can not protect its own Correctional Centres.

“Where Mr. Aregbesola ought to be seen finding services to these now-common jailbreaks; he has been busy promoting unrest in Osun State.

“Where he can not be warned, we demand his straight-out sack or redeployment if he can not act responsibly in line with the dictates of the Office he currently holds. A Public Officer must never ever be seen acting contrary to the spirit and provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.”

The coalition said where the federal government is unable to act swiftly to warn Aregbesola, the Senate needs to reveal capacity by sanctioning his sack and impress it on the President to effect very same.

Reacting, Aregbesola stated he wouldn’t have actually reacted to this infantile antic but for well-meaning members of the general public who might be stressed over the turn to violence by widely known non-state actors sponsored by the present administration in the State of the Virtuous.

The minister who reacted in a declaration released by his Media Adviser, Mr. Sola Fasure stated the union was hurriedly created and outlined by the leadership of the State Government in Osun.

He insisted that the State Government of Osun in specific has mounted a campaign of calumny against the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) because they were providing security for some citizens in Osun while they hold meetings and Ward off attacks against them.

According to him, “Our attention has been drawn to an ominous plot by a variety of one-man pseudo non-governmental organizations, fast put together and outlined by the management of the State Government in Osun.”
