The political turbulence buffeting the hold of outgoing Governor, Rauf Aregbesola on the politics of Osun state is about to become more aggressive.

Main foe, Iyiola Omisore is rapidly gaining ground in a bounce back move.

Aregbesola defeated Omisore to secure a second term in a highly tensed political contest that witnessed dramatic twists and turns.

Two of the major developments that gifted Aregbesola victory was the defection of major players Isiaka Adeleke and Olagunsoye Oyinlola from Omisore’s party (PDP) to his sides.

Ironically the situation is now reversed.

Though Isiaka Adeleke is now late, his family and followers aggrieved at the manner of his death are working hard against Aregbesola and his team.

They believe cause of his death has roots in his ambition to become All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate in move to become the next govenor of Osun state.
