A former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has been dropped from the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The initial list released in September by the PCC Secretary, James Faleke, had their names as members of the council in different categories.
The Chairman of the PGF, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, and the Director General of the PCC, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State, had reportedly worked on the list to factor in the interest of some senior members of the party.Two weeks ago, the governors met with the NWC members to resolve the matter.
In the course of the tussle, Aregbesola had in a video made some unsavoury remarks against Tinubu, whom he served under as works commissioner from 1999 to 2007 when he was Lagos governor.“We exalted him beyond his status and he turned himself to a god over us and we had sworn to ridicule anyone who compared himself to God,” Aregbesola had said during a meeting of the faction of APC he leads.
Kalu, who is the Senate chief whip, was removed as the APC presidential campaign coordinator for Abia state, according to the reviewed list of the PCC released by the party late Wednesday. A self-confessed non-APC member, Afegbua was included in the initial list as secretary of the public affairs directorate. However, he has now been replaced with Gideon Obakahan in the new list.
