Massive Turnout In Osogbo As Osun ADC Concludes Federal Constituency Tour
Massive Turnout In Osogbo As Osun ADC Concludes Federal Constituency Tour
– Nigerians Have Resolved To Vote Out Incompetent Govt, Install Responsible Leadership – Aregbesola
– As Party Leaders Canvass Aggressive Mobilisation, Support For ADC
Residents of Osogbo, and by extension Osogbo/Olorunda/Irepodun/Orolu trooped out massively as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in Osun State, concluded its Federal Constituency Tour.
From the Ataoja’s palace to the Technical College in Osogbo, where supporters waited for several hours, residents, artidans, market men and women, youths, students among others came out in their numbers to show love and support to the party’s National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who led the party’s hierarchy on the tour.
Addressing party supporters and loyalists, Aregbesola thanked them for their age-long show of support for his political tendency.
He said it is time for Nigerians to speak with one voice and galvanise the electorate to vote out the ruling parties at all levels.
The former Governor of Osun noted that his party presents the viable alternative to addressing the nation’s challenges of insecurity, maladministration, poverty, hunger and absence of good governance.
His words, “There is nowhere in Osun that the people do not resonate with what we represent. Our achievements and legacies when we were here continue to speak for us. That is why we get the kind of reception we have anytime we come here, particularly Osogbo, the state capital.
“There is no sector where they have not failed. They have disappointed Nigerians in almost every sphere. The economy is in dire straits, insecurity is ravaging the country, as well as many pitfalls of the present administration.
“The only viable alternative to all of these is our great party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which is poised to liberate the people and make life more abundant for the masses.
“We are glad that our people have resolved to vote out an incompetent government. Our party, if elected, will correct all of the governance misnormals and set the tone for our dear state, Osun and country to witness a masses oriented development.
“Continue to mobilise and draw more people to join the party and participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise. We promise you all a government of vision, mission and direction,” Aregbesola stated further.
Receiving the former Minister and his entourage in his palace earlier, the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun Larooye II pledged to back the resolve of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to reclaim the state.
The Ataoja, who recalled the monumental transformation of Osogbo to a modern capital city, during the Aregbesola administration (2010-2018), promised that the people of the town will back the party in 2026.
“Aregbesola’s journey this time around is different. This is because he has come now to work assiduously for the betterment of the people of Osun.
“He is one man I respect a lot, because when some naysayers were mounting pressure on him to do dethrone me, he did not listen to them.
“We are not ingrates in Osogbo. Osogbo is always united when it comes to Politics. I will never leave Aregbesola. I will always support him and all he represents,” the monarch stated.
The event also served as a mobilisation centre as senior party figures; Dr. Charles Omidiji, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, Senator Felix Ogunwale, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, Dr. Najeem Salaam and others charged party members to recommit themselves to grassroots engagement.
They described the ADC as the only party with the moral clarity and capacity to rescue Osun and Nigeria from the current decline.
Other dignitaries at Tuesday’s event include Engr. Jide Adeniji, Alhaji Rasaq Salinsile, Revd. Adelowo Adebiyi, Senator Adelere Oriolowo, Mr. Jide Bewaji, and other leaders of the tendency.

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.
This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.
Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
