The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola has debunked rumours of a disagreement between himself and the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Aregbesola in a statement by his media aide, Sola Fasure said those behind the rumours are agents of discord and deceit who are trying to cause a rift where there is none.
He also accused those behind the reports of trying to frustrate reconciliatory efforts targeted at mobilizing support for Tinubu and the APC in the 2023 general election.
According to Fasure, there is no truth in the allegations that Aregbesola attacked the personality of Tinubu.
The aide added that Aregbesola is focused on his duties as the Interior Minister and committed to the party’s victory in the forthcoming general elections.
He said: “A pattern has clearly emerged of a sinister and coordinated effort to frustrate the reconciliatory moves being championed by notable stakeholders within and beyond our party to rally all necessary factors for the success of our party at the February 2023 presidential election.
“Just last week, jittery politicians who are authors of this malicious manuscript, paid a handful of rent-a-crowd comedians to react to a non-existent ‘attack’ and regurgitate the storyline again, with the intention to frustrate a series of reconciliation steps for their selfish interest.”
The Minister’s aide concluded by urging members of the public to beware of the “evil machinations” of those behind the moves, who were out to cause disaffection, distractions, and sow discord within the APC.
