It was gathered from impeccable sources at the meeting that Aregbesola pointedly refused to shake Omisore’s hand or sit next to him and Oyetola.
Aregbesola was expected to sit down next to Omisore and Oyetola, but he refused to associate with them, deciding instead to sit far off. Attempts by the elders to make Aregbesola change his mind proved abortive as he said he didn’t want to be associated with Omisore, one of the sources said.
“As against the opinion of some quarters, claiming that Aregbesola has bent his principle of not having anything to do with a man of questionable character, the two term Osun Governor has again proven to be a man of his words that knows what and what he stands for”, another source at the meeting said.
