A former secretary to the Osun State government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, has resigned from the Omoluabi Progressives, a group loyal to the National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Adeoti, who was the deputy leader of the group, announced his resignation in a letter dated November 30 and addressed to the chairman of the group, Alhaji Isaa Adesiji.
Adeoti’s withdrawal came following the emergence of a former speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Najeem Salaam as the group’s gubernatorial aspirant under the ADC in Osun.
However, the Iwo-born politician said there has been pressure from his family on the need to take an immediate short rest from all political activities.
The letter reads, “I, Alhaji Moshood Olalekan Adeoti, the Deputy Leader of Omoluabi Progressives in Osun State, hereby tender this letter of withdrawal from the group, which I co-founded with other Progressive-minded individuals across the state.
“This also includes my complete withdrawal from all the group activities henceforth.
“My decision to withdraw was never an easy one, especially each time I looked back and considered all my investments into ensuring the survival of the group throughout its turbulent period from its inception to date.
“Coupled with this has been the pressure from my family members, both immediate and extended, on the need to take an immediate short rest from all political activities.
“I want to specially thank everyone of my fellow Progressives for the level of trust reposed in me while in the group and wishing the current leadership success in all the group’s future endeavours.”
