Omoluabi APC Caucus Begin Meetings Across Wards, LGs in Osun (Photos)
Members of the Omoluabi Caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State have began their meetings in order to organize and reposition the party towards the 2026 gubernatorial election in the state.
Recall, the former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, last week Tuesday, launched the Omoluabi Progressive Caucus in Ilesa, Osun State, describing it as a ‘union of like-minds in the state’.
He said at the event that, “The Omoluabi Tendency is a caucus within the All Progressives Congress (APC); actually one of the caucuses in the state. We are not a faction. We are the genuine foundation members of the party and we have no intention of abandoning the ship of the party as it navigates the most turbulent waters.
“We are no sprinters, but long-distance runners and we will still be standing when all the fair weathers have gone,” Aregbesola stated.
Members of the Omoluabi Caucus were seen on Monday, 29th August, 2023 around the state holding meetings and discussing how to popularize the party and their ideology. In Ifelodun Local Government Areas of the state, the leadership of the Caucus met with representatives of the wards, charging them to take the gospel of Omoluabi to the nooks and crannies of the local government.
During the launch of the Caucus, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola charged the members to be committed to the development of the people and their welfare. He said on development of the people, “we stand on the shoulder of giants. Chief Obafemi Awolowo presided over the most progressive and developmental government anywhere in Africa. Chief Bola Ige was a genius of Fabian socialist administration in the old Oyo State. Between 1999 and 2007, I was part of the progressive administration in Lagos, under our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is on this same foundation that we premised our unforgettable eight-year governance in Osun, which you all witnessed.
“When others are modifying their character and disposition to blend with exigencies, we have resolved to dig deeper into our inner recesses and emerge with a better version of ourselves.
“We are staunch progressives, deeply rooted in the principles of Omoluabi, and this guiding light will always illuminate our path. Our political engagements are free from animosity or hatred, for our love for all of God’s creations knows no boundaries. This unconditional love paves the way for our core values. At the heart of Omoluabi Progressives lies discipline—whether in personal endeavours, social interactions, political relationship or any sphere of life. Those who cannot align with the Omoluabi ethos don’t have a place with us.
“Our guiding principle remains a blend of character and competence. While character shapes the human soul, competence reflects one’s efficiency in creating value. These twin pillars, we believe, are the keystones of human civilization and progress. As we recognize our stage of development and the urgency to uplift our people, we’re convinced that reinvigorating these core values is pivotal to maintaining our resonance amongst them,” Ogbeni Aregbesola noted.
