- Empowers Widows In Ife Central
Members of various interest groups and political affiliations across 12 local government areas in Osun State have pledged their alliance with the Omoluabi Progressives, a caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is just as the tendency empowered some widows in Ife Central Local Government area of the state.
The local governments visited in the second phase of the ongoing tour of council areas in the state, according to a statement by the Organising and Publicity Secretary of the caucus, Abosede Oluwaseun, on Thursday, are Ilesa East, Area Office, Ilesa West, Atakunmosa West, Odo-Otin and Ifelodun.
Others are Ife Central, Ife North, Ede North, Ede South, Irepodun and Orolu.
Welcoming the new members to the tendency, Chairman, Omoluabi Progressives, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji said the caucus is daily strengthening its fold for the task ahead.
Adesiji hinted that so far, efforts are on to introduce viable programmes and initiatives to further propagate the ideals of the caucus, and inspire members on responsible leadership.
The former council boss noted that the reason why the tendency is focusing on the grassroots is to get through to those in core need of government attention if the tendency reclaims the state in 2026.
Adesiji stated that, “We find it vital to always reach out to the grassroots because the brand of politics we play at Omoluabi is people centric. We are not going to abandon all of you when we reach the desired zenith. That is why we are coming down to hear from you.

I am happy that more people are seeing the truth in us, and have further grown huge confidence in us.
