Former minister of Police Affairs, Mr Jelili Adesiyan, has on Sunday 8th January, 2023, advised the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, to seek forgiveness from the leader of All Progressive Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for his wrong doings.
Adesiyan said this, following claims by Rauf Aregbesola, that some politicians are aborting his efforts to recouncile with Bola Tinubu.
While speaking with Vanguard news correspondent, Adesiyan stated that Rauf Aregbesola is not remorseful of his misdeeds to the APC national leader, yet he wants to recouncile with him.
Speaking further, Adesiyan stated that the former Osun State Governor does not show commitment towards the APC as a party member but Tinubu is ready to forgive him.
In Adesiyan words,
“We are all clamouring for peace and there is nothing bad in reconciling ourselves. But even God acknowledges that sinners will be forgiven after showing remorse. For me, Aregbesola is not a member of the APC with the way he behaved in the build-up to the last governorship election in Osun.
Reconciliation is not a problem; our leaders are always ready to accept those that stray away from the party.
Aregbesola though a Minister under the APC administration, does not show the commitment of a party member. In a sane society, he would not behave in such a manner, but the leadership is always ready to forgive, but he needs to go back to where he missed his steps, apologise, and seek redress and he will be brought back into the party mainstream.
Aregbesola used the unique opportunity he was given by the leadership of the party, especially Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who projected him from an unknown personality to a two-term Governor of Osun, to disrupt the party and create disharmony among party leaders in the state.
I know Asiwaju, being a man with a big heart, is ready to forgive him, but first, Aregbesola must show remorse.”
