EX-SPEAKER TITI OSENI PICKS UP THE PIECES, SAVES HER MARRIAGE IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL STORMS

Published

In politics, greatness lies not in influence but in its pursuit for the greater good of all and the individual. Judging by her life outside power corridors, it could be assumed that the lessons of political experience, as of personal experience, were never lost on Hon. Titi Oseni. The once influential Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly has undoubtedly embraced the consequences of her actions in office, but unlike several of her peers, she understands that she cannot force the odds or negativities in her favour. Neither can she maul unforgiving fate to rewrite her life’s script. Oseni simple makes the best of her current situation.

 

Ever since she made history by becoming the first (and only) female speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Titi Oseni has remained in the eye of the public. Her tenure as the state’s Number 3 citizen coupled with her closeness to the then governor, Gbenga Daniel, made her one of the most influential figures in the Gateway State. However, since she left office, the chocolate-skinned woman has refrained from visible participation in politics. She has maintained a low profile, living a life of semi-retirement from the political arena.

 

Her non-visibility even led some to suggest that she was busy re-knitting her marriage from the severe strain her involvement in politics had brought on it. It was a delightful surprise for many, therefore, when she was sighted at the 60th birthday bash of Senator Jumoke Okoya-Thomas a few weeks ago. And the fact that she stepped out with her husband was indication that all is well on the home front.

Just In: APC expels Rauf Aregbesola

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, over alleged anti-party activities.

 

Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor of Osun State had been having a running battle with the Osun chapter of the APC in recent times.

 

The disagreement with the APC led him into forming a factional group within the party, known as The Osun Progressive (TOP) which later mutated into the Omoluabi Caucus.

 

 

 

A letter from the APC leadership seen by newsmen on Wednesday officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.

 

The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.

 

The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.

 

 

The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
