The Omoluabi Progressives, a political group led by Rauf Aregbesola, the former Governor of Osun State, has announced its decision to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Aregbesola stared “Some of the reasons adduced for the resolution include ostracisation from the party, suspension and expulsion of the tendency’s leaders without fair hearing, and continuous denigration of the structure, among others.
This decision was unanimous among stakeholders, according to Oluwaseun Abosede, the group’s Organising and Publicity Secretary .
Abosede in a statement signed by the Organising and Publicity Secretary, Omoluabi progressive cited several reasons for the exit, including allegations of unfair treatment, neglect, and poor handling of internal crises within the party
The statement reads in part “They also expressed dissatisfaction with the management of Osun APC’s intra-party crisis, which led to the party’s abysmal loss in the last election cycle, a situation they consented has waned its strength and popularity among the people of Osun.
“The members were put to a voice vote by the leadership of the fold where they affirmed their readiness to switch allegiance to another political camp ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state,”
He further stated “We are open to all, regardless of political, religious, or socio-cultural leanings. We have the numbers, strength, and political acumen to provide leadership that will make Osun the toast of its peers. By the grace of God, we shall succeed.”
