The Osun State chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) announced on Wednesday that it is welcoming former governor Rauf Aregbesola and his supporters from the Omoluabi Progressives to join its ranks following their departure from the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, the chairman of the party, made this statement in Osogbo.
The Chairman of the party, Dr. Odeyemi who made the remark in a statement in Osogbo appealed to, “Aregbesola to consider joining our great party, NNPP. Osun state is in the state of quagmire presently, we need a positive force to reclaim it.”
“Having Aregbesola in Osun NNPP, no doubt will also boost the party’s chances during the 2027 general election in Nigeria.”
“Our ideas are the same. We all love to see the masses happy and living comfortably. We can do it together in Osun come 2026 and the history will definitely be kind to us all. Therefore, with open arms, I wish to woo Ogbeni Aregbesola and his group to NNPP for a prosperous Osun.”

“My party have all the attributes listed by Aregbesola’s men, urging them to consider teaming up with it.”
“NNPP has proven to Nigerians that it has the capacity of correcting wrongs in Nigeria’s system of governance, using the pro-people approach to governance adopted by the incumbent Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, as an example.”
“Osun’s history will not be complete, without prominent mention of Aregbesola’s contributions. That is why the mainstream APC can not stop blaming Aregbesola for its failure to retain power in 2022, having realised the enormous influence he wields in the state political space.“
“Nobody can say Ogbeni Aregbesola is a political liability in Osun. He is an asset, no doubt about that. Even his former political family knows the truth. They are only shying away from it, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been shouting around that he caused their downfall during the 2022 gubernatorial election.
