Osun: Aregbesola’s Caucus Receives New Members

Omoluabi Progressives, a caucus within the All Progressives Congress backed by ex-Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has received new members into its fold during its monthly meeting.

Aregbesola while receiving the defectors, urged them to return to their various wards and mobilise more members into the group, according to a statement by the spokesperson of the Caucus, Oluwaseun Abosede, obtained in Osogbo on Monday.

Describing the new entrants as politicians with value and uncommon grit, Aregbesola expressed conviction that the Omoluabi Caucus was on the right track to the desired political destination.

The statement quoting Aregbesola partly read, “I want you all to return home and work more in mobilising political eggheads and grassroots politicians to the fold. The essence of Omoluabi is embedded in our character, competence, and integrity. That is what we should all focus on doing.

“All of you have to work hand-in-hand to ensure that we accommodate many interests and make our tendency more vibrant than before. I know you can’t fail us.

“The new entrants are politicians with value and uncommon grit. I believe that slow and steady wins the race. I am convinced that we are on the right track. With God on our side, we will reach the promised land.”

Speaking in a similar vein, former Speaker of the Osun House of Assembly, Dr. Najeem Salaam, called on members not to relent in their pursuit of the caucus’ agenda, calling on the stakeholders to further raise the bar in canvassing the electorate to join Omoluabi caucus.

The Caucus Chairman, Azeez Adesiji, lauded members for turning out in large numbers for the membership registration of the group.

He assured new members of the caucus of fairness, just as he admonished them to step up their mobilisation strategies as it would further impact the realisation of the vision of Omoluabi Progressives to reclaim the state in 2026.
