- 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 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 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 want to assure that we are the tendency to beat. Please, do not listen to those who are saying that we are betrayals. We did not betray anyone. Be assured that we are in touch with you and have our channels of communication open at all times.
“Ours is a tendency of the people. That is why we are confident to move round the nooks and crannies of our state without any fear. I am happy that more people are seeing the truth in us, and have further grown huge confidence in us. We will soonest introduce other critical support programmes for our members to let them know we are not just a political tendency but one that cares.
“I cannot thank enough our traditional rulers, youth organisations, marketmen and women, community leaders and associations as well as other groups who have continued to express confidence in Omoluabi Progressives. This is the home of genuine progressives and we are ready to have you on board.”
Traditional Rulers, Religious Leaders, Trade Associations among others lauded the efforts of the State Coordinating Team of the caucus to facilitating the membership of grassroots politicians to the fold.
They all pledged their loyalty and solidarity to ensure that Omoluabi produces the government of Osun in 2026.
Highlights of the second phase of the tour was the empowerment of 20 widows in Ife Central local government, with a promise to do more in the coming months.
