Aregbesola dismisses alliance ahead of Osun 2026

Former Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola, has faulted the rumoured plot to merge his political group, The Omoluabi Progressives, with individuals or other political groups ahead of the 2026 governorship poll in Osun state.

According to the Former Governor, such purported alliance is not in the table of the political group.

Aregbesola, who made the clarification while speaking at a reception organised by the Omoluabi Progressives in Osogbo, the State Capital to commemorate his 68th birthday, described the rumoured merger as false and misleading.

The former minister explained that he is confident about the group’s prospects in the coming poll.

 “By this time next year, we will all be close to Abere (Osun Governor’s Office). May God make it so.”

According to him, the political group is ready to independently contest and win the upcoming election.

“So, people are having untrue impression that we will align with anyone (in the governorship poll). We are not going to align with anyone. We are going to pursue our political interests separately.

“No alliance with anyone or group. By the grace of God, this group will win. We will contest and we will win,” Aregbesola said.
