There are indications that the relationship between Minister of Interior, also a former governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and his political godson, the Osun state governor, Gboyega Oyetola has broken down irretrievably.
Aregbesola was conspicuously missing at the award presentation organised by the state government to distinguished citizens of the state as part of the activity to commemorate Osun at 30. He was neither present nor sent a representative.
The colourful ceremony which commenced around 5pm on Thursday in Osogbo witnessed the attendance of prominent Nigerians from all walks of life, including some past and present state governors in attendance.
As at the time of filling this report, the incumbent governor Oyetola who was the chief host at the well attended ceremony still kept mum on why Ogbeni Aregbesola ignored his invitation.
The Minister has too remained silence and not tendered an apology for not honouring Oyetola’s invitation.
Tougues are wagging in the state that things may have fallen apart for the two former political allies.

Your report shows that you have the evidence that Ogbeni Aregbesola was invited because many were thinking that it was either Ogbeni was not invited nor he decided not to come around.
