Reacting to the recent letter by the ex Secretary to the State Government, Moshood Adeoti, announcing his withdrawal from Omoluabi Progressives, the caucus he co‑founded, and by extension, from the ADC’s internal group activities, Oluwawemimo said, “His decision, outlined in the withdrawal letter, cites family pressure and the need for a short break from politics as the primary reasons.
“Sequel to the above, I write to wish Alhaji Moshood Adeoti well in his future endeavours, I make bold to say we will surely miss him, especially his political ingenuity and prowess.
I appreciate Alhaji Adeoti for his years of service, his role as former Deputy Leader of Omoluabi Progressives and his dedication to ADC’s growth.
