Omoluabi Progressives leave APC

Omoluabi Progressives, led by Rauf Aregbesola, leave APC, citing neglect and poor crisis management

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Omoluabi Progressives, a prominent political group in Osun State led by former Governor Rauf Aregbesola, has officially parted ways with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The group announced its decision during its monthly meeting in Ilesa, following consultations with stakeholders across the 332 wards in the state.

In a statement signed by the group’s Organising and Publicity Secretary, Oluwaseun Abosede, the departure was attributed to growing dissatisfaction with the APC’s internal policies and alleged marginalisation of its members. The statement highlighted issues of ostracism, unjust suspensions, and expulsions without fair hearing, which the group claimed eroded trust in the party’s leadership.

The group also expressed concerns over the APC’s management of internal crises, stating it contributed to the party’s weakened influence and poor performance in recent elections in Osun State. This discontent culminated in a unanimous decision by members to explore new political alignments ahead of the 2026 governorship election.

Speaking at the meeting, Aregbesola, who previously served as Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, commended members for their unwavering dedication to the principles of integrity and good governance. He described the decision to leave the APC as the start of a transformative journey aimed at fostering responsible leadership and propelling Osun to new heights.

“I am indeed happy that all of you have spoken with one voice—a united front to lead the way to our collective victory in the journey ahead,” Aregbesola remarked.

He emphasised the group’s mission to uplift Osun State by attracting capable individuals willing to pursue righteousness and shared prosperity.

“Our mission is to raise the level of prosperity of our dear state through responsible leadership. The path we have chosen is smooth, highly reassuring, and full of good tides that will propel Osun to greatness. Therefore, you must show more commitment and attract genuine people who are ready to walk this path of righteousness with us,” Aregbesola stated.

He reassured members that strategic efforts to reposition the Omoluabi Progressives were already underway, promising that the group would soon emerge stronger and more influential.

“We are open to all, regardless of political, religious, or socio-cultural affiliations. We have the numbers, strength, and political acumen to provide leadership that will make Osun the envy of its peers. By the grace of God, we shall succeed,” Aregbesola affirmed.

With this significant move, the Omoluabi Progressives are expected to reshape the political landscape in Osun State, with keen eyes on the 2026 governorship election.
