Adesiji expressed satisfaction with the turnout of members so far at the nine federal constituencies of the state and urged them to continue to bring more people into the fold.
The Chairman said, “I welcome the new members to the fold. We are Omoluabi, people of refined character, competence, integrity, and responsibility in leadership. Our core values are rooted in discipline as a major way of entrenching good governance in the state.
“Our focus is not just political power but building a legacy of ideology in pragmatic leadership. Ours is to reform and redirect the focus of progressives to good governance and competent party administration, which gives a voice to all members, who contribute to its affairs.
“I want to reassure us all that our doors are open for consultations, advice, and reports on how your meetings are faring. I want to assure you that we are here for you, and we will do everything to make sure that every member is incorporated in the scheme of things.
“Our visitation to members across the state will not end with this tour. We will continue to make physical and unscheduled visits to the meetings of the Omoluabi Progressives at the ward and local government levels. This is to make sure we are all doing what is expected of us. We will also reward leaders and members of the local government that is more vibrant in our activities.
