The Omoluabi Progressives, a faction loyal to former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola, have been retaliated against by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State for announcing their intention to leave the party.

The party added that since the political group has been gone since 2022, it is not upset by the announcement.

The Osun APC referred to the Omoluabi Progressives’ decision to leave the APC as “good riddance to bad rubbish” in a statement released on Monday and signed by Kola Olabisi, the Director of Media and Information.

The statement reads, “We, in the Osun State APC, shall be happy to miss the political irritants and deviants who had since left the party by way of body and soul before the 2022 governorship election in the state.

“How would any rational human being who has been suspended or expelled announce his resignation to the whole world again? Is that not an example of superfluity! You cannot be saying you are in our party and be working against the interest of the same party.

“You are agents of the PDP in Osun State and you are still of service to the ruling party in the state. What we are seeing with hindsight is that the hand is proverbially that of Jacob while the voice is identifiable to Isau.

“We shall be ready for the antics of the political renegades. The ambulatory Omoluabi Progressives believe they are more progressive in Nigeria than the real progenitors of the progressives party, having no respect for the elders and their political benefactors.

“We are not bothered by the action of the frustrated and expired politicians who had since left the party since about three years ago when all their efforts to destabilize and hijack the party did not come to fruition.

“The recent announcement of your either forming or joining another party is the imminent beginning of your political funeral which will end up in your final burial through the 2026 governorship election.

“More importantly, the blindfolded followers of the ill-fated Omoluabi Progressives will regret being part of this shenanigan.

“Osun APC is waxing stronger by the day. Our message to the frustrated Omoluabi Progressive handlers is that whoever wants to bury his elder brother nakedly should take along his younger brother in order to show the latter how he too would be buried at the end of his journey of life.”

The Omoluabi Progressives, a group supported by Aregbesola, said in a statement on Sunday that they were leaving the APC, as ZINGTIE had previously reported.

Following a session that ratified the previous resolution of members from the 332 wards of Osun at its monthly meeting in Ilesa on Sunday, the group said in a statement signed by Abosede Oluwaseun, its organising and publicity secretary, that the decision to leave the APC was made by consensus among stakeholders.
