The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the governorship election in Unit 1, Ward 8, Ilesa, Ilesa East Local Government of the State of Osun.
Unit 1, Ifofin, ward 8, Ilesa, is the polling unit of the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
APC polled 164 to defeat the PDP which scored 134.
Reacting on the absence of the Minister, his media aide, Sola Fasure said he was not around.
“The Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is not around”, he said.
The Minister is said to have travelled to Germany for an official function to avoid voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Oyetola, who is seeking a re-election for a second and final term in office.
Also, Aregbesola may not want to be slammed with anti-party allegation by voting for another candidate on the platform of a different political party, hence he avoided the exercise.
Recall that few days ago, Aregbesola was also absent at the APC’s grand rally for Oyetola. On the same day, he travelled to Lagos for an official visit to the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison, which is under his Ministry.
