Former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has said that his political organisation, Omoluabi Progressives, is available for discussion with all other political parties which might need the group’s support as they quit the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement by the Organising and Publicity Secretary of Omoluabi Progressives, Aregbesola was quoted as saying that the caucus has the number and strength for political, religious, or socio-cultural leanings.
The caucus had announced their withdrawal from APC, citing ostracisation from the party, suspension and expulsion of the tendency’s leaders without fair hearing, and continuous denigration of the structure, among others.
Addressing members of the tendency, Aregbesola commended them for their commitment and steadfastness to the principles of character, integrity and good governance.
He affirmed the resolution, noting that it is time to work aggressively for the success of Omoluabi Progressives and its vision to entrench good governance in Osun State.
He also assured that in no distant time, results of ongoing efforts by the leadership of the tendency to properly position it for the task ahead will materialise.
“I am indeed happy that all of you have spoken with one voice. It is not just one voice but a united front to lead the way to our collective victory in the journey ahead.
“I wish to remind you that the journey we are embarking on now is to further raise the level of prosperity of our dear state through responsible leadership. The path we have toed is a smooth path, highly reassuring and full of good tides that will propel our dear state to greatness. Therefore, you must show more commitment and attract genuine people who are ready to walk this path of righteousness with us.
“We are open to all regardless of political, religious, or socio-cultural leanings. We have the numbers, strength, and political acumen to provide a leadership that will make Osun the toast of its peers. By the grace of God, we shall succeed,” Aregbesola said.
