Aregbesola's influential terrain is gone; he cannot be a leader of any political system in Osun State again - Lasun Yusuf

In a twist of events, the former Deputy Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yusuf, has declared that the former Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola was only hallucinating to return to political leadership position in the State, saying 'his terrain of influence is gone.'

The former federal lawmaker stated this while fielding questions from a presenter on a popular socio-political programme on a radio station in Osogbo, on Monday.

He declared that the erstwhile Governor Aregbesola could only struggle but he could never become a leader of any political system in the state.

The former candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2022 Osun governorship election who highlighted the sense of brotherhood between him and the former Governor stressed that, "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 times together in politics and  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 progressive 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. 

"For him to be saying he would let people know where he is going before the end of this year, is nothing but a ruse; time has passed by on that; life doesn't wait for such", the erstwhile Deputy Speaker said.

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings.

It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
