Former Secretary to the Osun State Government Moshood Adeoti has formally withdrawn his membership from the Omoluabi Progressives, a bloc within the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in Osun State. Adeoti, who served as the deputy leader of the group, announced his decision in a personally signed letter addressed to the group’s chairman. In the letter he cited family considerations as a major factor, explaining that pressure from his relatives prompted him to step back from all political activities.
Adeoti expressed appreciation to the members of the Omoluabi Progressives for their trust and confidence over the years and acknowledged the group’s turbulent phases since its creation. He affirmed his pride in the collective efforts that sustained the organization and wished the current leadership success in future endeavors.
The development comes as preparations intensify for the 2026 governorship election in Osun State. The Osun ADC has reportedly favored Najeem Salami, a two‑term speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, as its flag bearer for the election. Adeoti’s inability to secure the governorship ticket may have contributed to his decision to leave the group. His departure marks a new chapter in his political career; as a former secretary to the state government during Rauf Aregbesola’s administration, he brought significant experience and expertise to the Omoluabi Progressives.
Adeoti’s exit may lead to a reconfiguration of the state’s political alliances and power structures. As the 2026 governorship election approaches, the political landscape in Osun State is likely to undergo significant changes, with various stakeholders maneuvering for position and influence.
