On Sunday, November 2, 2025, the city of Ilesa in Osun State witnessed an electrifying gathering as leaders, stakeholders, and members of Omoluabi Progressives (@ThisIsOmoluabi) came together for this month’s strategic meeting, showcasing unity, enthusiasm, and a shared commitment to progressive ideals.
It was an atmosphere that reminded Nigerians how true Progressives like Late Obagemi Awolowo would have addressed the yarnings of Nigerians. A movement that tells who we are, a movement bound by shared ideals, strengthened by loyalty, and propelled by the enduring spirit of progressivism.
In his usual progressive manner, former Governor of the State of Osun and the African Democratic Alliance, ADC, General Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola used the moment to reflect on how far the group has evolved since August 2023 and on the uncommon solidarity the members have shown over these two years. In unity and steadfastness, Omoluabi Progressives have continued to promote the ideals of progressive politics, the Omoluabi ethos of integrity, service, and people-centred governance.
In one voice, the group agreed on the criteria and process for selecting the aspirant they shall present ahead of the Osun ADC 2026 governorship primaries.
They also received, with joy, the State Membership Mobilisation, Revalidation, and Registration Committee from ADC National Headquarters, ably led by Hon. Kamil Akinlade. Who came to officially inform Omoluabi Progressives of their arrival and readiness to begin the process in Osun.
Ogbeni Aregbesola urged members of the group to participate actively in the registration exercise, the forthcoming federal constituency tours, state congresses, and other programmes that will lead to the December 12 shadow election.
Ogbeni Aregbesola said; “Without doubt, ADC is the party to beat! We are stronger, better organised, and fully prepared to return our dear state to the path of true governance, people’s welfare, and responsible leadership.”
The group also received new members across major political parties in the state.
