Group mobilises for APC candidates

Omoluabi Movement, a grassroots political group in Ogun State, has reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, senatorial aspiration of Governor Dapo Abiodun and governorship ambition of Senator Solomon Adeola ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement released yesterday through the state Director of Media and Publicity, Oluseun Joshua, the movement said it had intensified efforts to strengthen grassroots mobilisation for candidates of All Progressives Congress (APC) across the state.
The statement signed by the convener of the movement, Armstrong ‘Tope Akintunde, said the mobilisation drive was aimed at expanding outreach and encouraging political participation among members, which it says currently exceeds 30,000 across Ogun State’s three senatorial districts.
The group said it had begun statewide mobilisation with the deployment of newly-unveiled buses to enhance coordination and grassroots engagement.

It added that plans were underway to empower over 30,000 registered members of the movement.
“We began our mobilisation a few days ago across Ogun State, deploying 27 buses in communities. This effort is focused on rallying support for the re-election of President Tinubu and other APC candidates in the state.”
Akintunde said Omoluabi Movement was not affiliated with any similarly-named political group associated with former Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
“Our Omoluabi Movement is different and has no connection with what the former governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Aregbesola, is associated with, as speculated by some individuals. The name ‘Omoluabi’ is a common Yoruba concept and is not tied to any political figure. Our focus remains mobilising support for APC candidates in Ogun State, with plans for future expansion,” he added.
He explained that the introduction of the buses formed part of a strategic initiative to strengthen grassroots engagement and improve organisational efficiency within the movement.
“Our vision is to nurture a political culture anchored on the Omoluabi ethos-integrity, accountability, service and respect for democratic values,” he said.
According to the group, the name was inspired by remarks made by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, during a visit for the official unveiling and royal blessing of the 27 buses.
The movement listed its key objectives as building strong grassroots structures to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid, Governor Abiodun’s senatorial ambition, and the emergence of Senator Adeola as governor of Ogun State in 2027, alongside other APC candidates contesting National and State Assembly seats.
“The movement’s mission is rooted in promoting participatory democracy, good governance and sustained political engagement at the community level,” the statement said.
