Popular socialite Segun Alawaye was said to have jumped for joy at the recent news of the death of Muslim leader, Late Arisekola Alao.

We gathered that one of the wives of Late Arisekola, Faramade was married to Segun, a popular socialite who ruled the social scene like a colossus in the 80′s and 90′s. However, when Segun had the misfortune to run into financial storm and got broke, the love of his life, Faramade jilted him and married Arisekola.

But Segun would never forgive Aare Musulumi of Yoruba land for snatching Faramade.

Surprisingly, when the news of the death of Arisekola broke, Segun Alawaye who was with a couple of friends at their usual rendezvous, requested for a bottle of an expensive Champagne claiming that it was for his enemy.

Although, most of the friends celebrated with him, one or two however disapproved the celebration.

It would be recalled that Segun Alawaye was very influential in the life of Forte Oil chairman Femi Otedola when they were both growing up. He had rich parents that helped him to become successful very early in life, but things took a downward turn for him that he had no option than to team up with the late MIC boss, Tunji Okusanya. It was when Otedola who had become so rich then learnt about his blossom friend working with MIC that he decided to lift him back into reckoning.

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.”
