Over 250 political structures collapsed into Omoluabi Coalition Group — National Accord Newspaper
Ahead of the November governorship elections in Ondo State, some political groups and structures of governorship aspirants in the State numbering over 250 have collapsed into Omoluabi Coalition Group.
At an expanded Exco’ meeting held in Ore recently, the President of the Yoruba Council (YCW); the apex umbrella body for all Yoruba socio cultural groups Barr. Oladotun Hassan received the group’s excos from all the 18 local governments across the Sunshine State.
Aare Hassan in his welcome address admonished them to remain steadfast, and always imbibe Omoluabi ethos in their conducts, stressing the need for remaining political structures in the state to join forces with Omoluabi Coalition to decide who will govern the State for the next four years, as the governorship election “is not about political party BUT the candidates”.
The Director General, Omoluabi Coalition Group, Tunji Balogun emphasized the importance of voter cards, and urged those yet to collect their cards to go to INEC offices in their respective local governments for onward collections.
He said the group target across the state is 200,000 votes. Whereas the compilation of registered voters cards as at today is still 124,678 which is far below target. He therefore mandated the new members to register their voter cards on the group’s portal for proper documentation.
Balogun also advised all members to remain focused and loyal, stressing that the leaders are in consultation with leaders of thought and stakeholders in the State with assurances that “we shall come up with the right choice in the interest of our dear state”.
The woman leader Yeye Atunluse Oodua Alhaja Tawakalitu while welcoming the new affiliated groups explained that “Omoluabi Coalition Group is an independent apolitical and sociocultural group in Yoruba land committed to good governance, aimed at strengthening our democratic process.”
She also gave her admonition and assurances that come November governorship election in Ondo state, the choice of Omoluabi Coalition would emerge as governor.
