DAILY POST
An ex-Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, has declared that former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, can never become the leader of any political system in the state.
Yusuf, the candidate for the Labour Party, LP, in the 2022 Osun guber election, added that Aregbesola’s political influence has faded.
He stated this while fielding questions on a radio programme in Osogbo, on Monday.
Yusuf said, “I can’t be happy if any evil thing befalls Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. I always wish him good. We were together; we have come a long way; infact we spent quality time together in politics but what I know is that his terrain of influence is gone in the political firmament of Osun; he cannot be a leader of any political system in the state again.
“Though he tried to ensure that progressives retain power in Osun while exiting office, what I know is that he is only trying but it is too late to become a leader in the state as he has been struggling to.
“I said this because I knew that he became a governor by collective leadership. Just as I couldn’t become a governor as I wished so also that it is not easy for him to become the leader of any political system that he wishes to be.
