The former governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has inaugurated a new All Progressives Congress caucus called Omoluabi Tendency in Osun State, today.
In a statement released on X, formerly known as Twitter, Aregbesola said the Omoluabi Tendency is a caucus within the APC and not a faction.
He said, “Those who cannot align with the Omoluabi ethos don’t have a place with us. Our guiding principle remains a blend of character and competence. While character shapes the human soul, competence reflects one’s efficiency in creating value. These twin pillars, we believe, are the keystones of human civilization and progress.
“As we recognize our stage of development and the urgency to uplift our people, we’re convinced that reinvigorating these core values is pivotal to maintaining our resonance amongst them.”

The acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on Tuesday, appealed to Nigerians to always report appropriately to Police authorities erring officers rather than crucifying them on social media.

Egbetokun said, “Some of our men can misbehave. We cannot guarantee that all of them will behave well, but when you see them misbehaving, the Commissioner of Police is here to hear your complaints.
“Call the CP for your complaints. We are here to address your complaints against the police, don’t go to social media.Some things go on social media that are not true. A lot of falsehood has been propagated on social media. The CP is here, if you need any clarification, reach them, they will take it up and justice shall be done.” He assured.
The IG, while speaking on community policing, said, “We are going to focus on the communities in all the states of the Federation. We are reviewing the security strategy in the country in line with the new vision of Nigeria Police for effective policing. All the commissioners of police across the country are being trained for effective service delivery.
“During my discussion with the Commissioner of Police in this state, Adebola Hamzat, he told me that his door is open to the public. If you have issues with any of our officers as there are tendencies that some of them might misbehave, kindly reach out to the senior officers.
