Immediate-past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and his loyalists – the Omoluabi Progressives Caucus are still members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is contained in a statement signed by the caucus spokesperson, Abosede Oluwaseun.
The caucus was reacting to a social media post by one of its members Kamorudeen Adabanija that the former Governor and his loyalists have dumped the APC and are set to join another party, describing it as untrue and not its official position.
THE FULL STATEMENT
The online media is awash with a statement credited to Kamorudeen Adabanija stating that “Aregbesola, Loyalists Dump APC,” to mean that both the former Minister of Interior and his loyalists in the Omoluabi Progressives are no longer members of the APC and are moving to another party.

1. We (Omoluabi Progressives) wish to declare that the statement is not true.
2. Secondly, the said writer is not the spokesperson of the Omoluabi Progressives. He is not officially authorised to speak or make any declaration on behalf of the tendency.
3. Lastly, it is not the Omoluabi Progressives or Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola that wants to pull out the APC. It is the other camp that wants our reverred leader and members of our caucus out of the party and have have declared us personal non-grata, as well as stated that they do not want us in the party anymore with their actions and inactions.
4. Our position is clear on the political situation of Osun State and where the tendency is headed. Therefore, it is not correct to preempt the decision of the caucus.
5. Those sensationally jumping the gun with misrepresentation and falsehood are plain mischief makers and should be disregarded.
6. Omoluabi Progressives will always directly communicate its positions through its official channels and not through any third party.
We remain committed to promoting the Omoluabi ethos of Competence, Courage, Character, Integrity, and our core value of Discpline.
Thank you.
