Former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola shocked his candidate and supporters as he was nowhere to be found during the Primary Election of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) in the state on Saturday, February 19, 2022.
As bits of Moshood Adeoti’s performance (his chosen candidate for the Governorship Primary election in Osun) began to emerge, the Minister of Interior was nowhere to be found. He did not even vote for his annoited at his Ilesa East Ifofin ward.
Informed sources revealed that rather than vote for Adeoti at the primary election, the Minister reportedly travelled to Ghana for an undisclosed reason.
His absence may not be unconnected with the fact that the people resented his clamour to make Adeoti the next Governor and return Osun to regime of half salary and confusing educational policies.
Indications from the results emerging from the polling centers pointed to a clear loss for the Minister and his candidate.
Incumbent Governor Oyetola is in clear lead, going by results already counted and made public.
Both Aregbesola and Adeoti lost in their Wards.
