A source familiar with the workings of the party in the South-West, told Vanguard how current Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola has pitched his tent with the Vice-President as against his former political mentor, Tinubu.
The source also narrated how Aregbesola created problems for Tinubu, saying: “What most people do not also know is that it was Rauf Aregbesola who caused most of the issues people had with Tinubu. They have seen for themselves that Tinubu was not as bad as being portrayed by Aregbesola then.
“You know, Tinubu had tremendous respect for Aregbesola, he believed in his judgement; so even when Tinubu does not sanction some of the things he does, people will conclude that because of the free will Tinubu has given to him (Aregbesola), he is carrying out Tinubu’s assignment and that was how he created problem for the man. I am sure Tinubu’s eyes have been opened.
Aregbesola is working for Osinbajo, there is no doubt about it because all his boys are working for Osinbajo. The campaigns for Tinubu are going on good, and well-coordinated.”

On the feasibility of a consensus arrangement in the South-West, the source said:
“You know there was a meeting of the South-West APC leaders and the possibility of a consensus was discussed but it didn’t scale through. As I speak with you, former Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has aligned with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and that also prompted Dapo Abiodun to align with Tinubu.
“Now, from the body language of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, he will step down for Tinubu. Rotimi Akeredolu and Tinubu have mended their relationship.”
