A prominent political group in Ogun State, the Omoluabi Movement, has undergone a significant transformation, rebranding itself as the Yayi Progressives Movement (YPM) in preparation for the 2027 general elections. This strategic move was announced in a press statement, which revealed that the rebranding reflects a natural progression in the group's political philosophy. According to the statement, the rebranding is part of a new phase for the movement, following the successful completion of its previous agenda. The Yayi Progressives Movement aims to mobilise support for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, from the presidential election to the State House of Assembly races.
The movement has pledged its support for Senator Solomon Adeola (Yayi)'s aspiration for the Ogun State governorship in 2027. The group's convener, Armstrong 'Tope Akintunde, described the Yayi Progressives Movement as a united grassroots initiative comprising artisans, professionals, youth groups, and politically conscious stakeholders. The movement boasts an impressive membership of over 30,000, with an additional 17 groups dedicated to the continued progress and development of Ogun State within the progressive political tradition.
The rebranding represents a shift from the Dapo Abiodun Continuity Agenda (DACA), which was established to support the re-election bid of Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON. The movement's leadership has announced its official transition and rebranding into the Yayi Progressives Movement, with the aim of informing the general public and stakeholders of the rationale behind this strategic evolution.
The next step for the Yayi Progressives Movement is to solidify its grassroots support and mobilise its members to work towards the success of Senator Solomon Adeola's governorship bid in 2027.
The rebranding of the Omoluabi Movement as the Yayi Progressives Movement is a strategic move to position the group for success in the 2027 general elections. The movement's commitment to supporting Senator Solomon Adeola's governorship bid is a significant development in Ogun State politics. As the 2027 elections draw near, the Yayi Progressives Movement will play a crucial role in shaping the state's political landscape. With its strong grassroots presence, the movement is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the elections.
