It is a consensus in Osun state that, Rauf Aregbesola is the most influential politician across party lines.
And the reason for the massive influence that has transformed the 66 years old into a powerful politician has been unveiled.
“The most instrumental impact has been is his guiding principle, a single philosophy that powers his politics” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.

Crowd represents supporters and defined as increase in his following.
“Aregbesola’s dealings, bargaining are tilted towards achieving this and it has worked and working for him tremendously, especially among the decision makers across different fields” SocietyNow.Ng gathered.
Those who should know insist that Aregbesola’s hold on the politics of Osun state is such that Governor Ademola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is walking on egg shells in managing him.
Adeleke has made it a point of duty to show the people of Osun state that Aregbesola is not his enemy.
“Aregbesola has massively ingrained himself into the socio-political life of Osun state, Adeleke understands that but Oyetola did not grasp the magnitude” SocietyNow.Ng learned.
Oyetola as Governor of Osun state on the platform of the All progressives Congress (APC) prosecuted an open and intense quarrel with Aregbesola – a development believed to have hugely contributed to his loss in the election for a second term bid.
Months later. the former Minister is, however, calling for a reconciliation and insisted at the beginning of his recent homecoming celebration “Let me also reiterate that I hold no grudge against anyone. My hands are wide open to work with even those who sought to destroy us. I have offended no one, but those who feel offended by our existence and loyalty to progressive ideals should forgive us.”
