The immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has called on citizens to key into the ideas of Omoluabi Progressives group which he launched a few months ago saying the movement will help to deepen progressive ideology in politics.
Aregbesola said the group is for all comers in the state, describing it as a movement to renew commitment to the path of progressive ideology and politics as inherited from Chief Obafemi Awolowo, among other progressive leaders.
The former governor of Osun State who spoke at a programme organized by Omoluabi Progressives Caucus to celebrate his 67th birthday at the weekend in Osogbo, said the way to go in achieving mass prosperity for Nigerians is to abide by the Omoluabi ethos in governance and politics.
Aregbesola maintained that the core of an administration that is truly ready to serve the people is discipline, courage, character and competence in leadership.
He said: “We thank those who we started together, those who have joined us and those who will join us. We are inviting everybody to join the Omoluabi movement.
“We make no discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, religion, occupation, economic status and any circumstance of birth, except in adherence to our core values and character. We are open to all people, young and old, rich and poor, educated or otherwise, traders and blue collar, landowners and tenants.
“The core of our belief is that political power should be deployed in service of the people,” Aregbesola said.
