A statement by Abosede Oluwaseun, Organising and Publicity Secretary, Omoluabi Progressives stated that while speaking at the event with the theme “ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL,” the immediate-past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, commended the leadership, stakeholders, and members for their steadfastness and commitment to the collective aspiration of the fold.
Aregbesola noted that the Omoluabi Progressives will soon be the bedrock of responsible leadership in Africa if its leaders and members stay true to its principles and philosophy.
He also lauded the people of Osun for their love and support for the tendency, reassuring that it will produce credible and responsible leaders who will put the people first and reposition the state for development and progress, when given the mandate.
The former Governor said, “Without any doubt, we have with this kind of conferences and leadership training sessions started a new and very promising political tradition that will guarantee the emergence of the leadership that will take the black race out of the doldrums which have affected its freedom and development for centuries.
“I am convinced that history will be kind to us for being the nucleus of the revival of genuine progressive politics in the South West and Nigeria. Let me assure our people that the new leadership that will emerge from the Omoluabi Progressives fold will be the one that will see power as a huge responsibility to serve humanity with dignity, honour, integrity, fear of God and celebrate, treasure and promote democracy.
“Let me thank the leadership of our tendency led by Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, our stakeholders, and our members statewide for their passion, commitment, and dedication. We must also see beyond our individual desires and ambition and pursue things that will aid the achievement of our utmost goal,” Aregbesola said.
Earlier, the guest speaker at the conference, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, admonished participants to see themselves as pioneers of a good cause for the Yoruba society.
He noted that the past glory which the Yoruba was known and recognised has degenerated so much in the recent past due to the incoherent leadership the society has had.
According to Ojudu, the cherished glory of the Yoruba nation, which was built by the Awolowo generation, has been put to scorn by the military interruption in governance and the subsequent takeover by their civilian surrogates.
The former political adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari stated that, “The arrogant surrogates are empty in ideals and mostly selfish in their pursuit to the detriment of the society at large.
“The situation has set the country at large back in growth and development for many decades with most of the socio-economic development projects left behind by the Awolowo generation run down.
“That is why I find this kind of gathering ideal to midwife the emergence of a new leadership that will bring about a reset of the society to the Grand old days when ideology guided development,” Ojudu stressed.
He also commended the leadership of Omoluabi Progressives for taking it upon themselves to bring back to memory, the good old days with the formation of the tendency to reset the society.
Earlier in a remark, Chairman, Omoluabi Progressives, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji said the conference was to further one of the visions of the fold not to only serve as an election-winning vehicle, but a ground for breeding intellectually sound and socially responsible leaders poised to liberate their people.
“We must be true to our creed, motto, and principles.An Omoluabi is the epitome of character,” he remarked.
Adesiji also reiterated the resolve of the tendency to reclaim the state in 2026, calling on members to redouble their mobilisation efforts to achieve the shared dream.
The event was attended by eminent personalities, including the former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, former Osun SSG, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, former Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Dr. Najeem Salaam, former Cabinet members in the Aregbesola administration, stakeholders, leaders of the tendency, among others…CONTINUE READING>>
