The Osun State APC chapter has issued a word of caution to its members, advising prudence in considering involvement with the recently established Omoluabi Caucus. This group, spearheaded by the former Osun governor, Rauf Aregbesola, was introduced during a launch event in Ilesa, with claims of uniting progressive-minded individuals.
However, responding to this development, Osun APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, has urged party members to exercise careful judgment before aligning with the Omoluabi Caucus. Lawal has expressed concerns about potential underlying motives and intentions of the group, suggesting that it might not be in the best interest of the party’s unity and integrity.
Lawal’s remarks further questioned the timing of Aregbesola’s initiative and criticized the perceived focus on specific regional interests, rather than a broader, unified party approach.
In response to Lawal’s statement, the former Osun APC State Chairman, Lowo Adebiyi, has emphasized the personal freedom of individuals to join associations of their choice. Adebiyi stated that Lawal’s opinion was his own and not a binding directive for party members.
Adebiyi emphasized that party members should exercise their judgment and evaluate whether the objectives of the Omoluabi Caucus align with their vision for the party’s future before deciding to participate.
In light of these developments, the decision for Osun APC members to engage with the Omoluabi Caucus remains in their hands, as they navigate the potential impact of this new initiative on the party’s direction and dynamics.”
