Stakeholders of Omoluabi Progressives have resolved to further strengthen the tendency so as to reclaim Osun in 2026.

Adesiji also announced the commencement of issuance of membership cards to all registered members, urging willing members of public to be a part of the rave of the moment.
The ex-council boss said, “I cannot but appreciate every member of Omoluabi Progressives for their huge turnout and warm reception during our last local government tour. We saw it that the people are truly with us. It was clearly evident that the people are with Omoluabi.
“We have commenced the issuance of membership cards across local government areas in the state. This means that our membership registration is not a fluke. We have done the symbolic presentation of membership cards to our apex leaders today and distribution of the cards to members across the state will commence immediately.
“If you have not registered, please visit your ward executives to register. It is important.
“Let me re-echo it that our doors and channels of communication is open. We will not impose anyone on members. The collective decision of members will be respected. We are not going to renege on our ideology and the promises we have made to the people,” Adesiji stressed.
Addressing the stakeholders, former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola preached unity among members of the tendency.
Aregbesola, who expressed confidence in the mobilisation efforts of the stakeholders, urged them not to relent as Omoluabi Progressives stands a great chance to return to the governance of Osun.
He also cautioned members of the progressive fold not to waver in their sacrifice for the entrenchment of responsible leadership and good governance in the state.
His words, “We must reclaim Osun in 2026. We will produce the next government in the state by God’s Grace. Don’t listen to the naysayers.
“It is evident that we are gaining grounds and we are happy to have reached this level. However, we must not falter. We must continue to rally quality people into our fold.
“Whoever is spirit inclined will know God is on our side. We owe ourselves a covenant that we must not allow anyone to divide our ranks. We must remain one to achieve our dreams. The emancipation of Osun is very vital and important to us,” the former Governor of Osun stressed further.
In their words of admonition, Senator Adelere Oriolowo and Hon. Segun Olanibi urged members of Omoluabi Progressives to be united in order to actualise the tendency’s vision.
