Mr Aregbesola fell out with President Bola Tinubu over the choice of the party's governorship candidate in Osun in 2022
Mr Aregbesola, also a two-term governor of the state, launched the group in Ilesa on Tuesday.
He restated his commitment to progressive ideals and the APC even as he stated that political parties are amalgamations of different interests and tendencies. “They are together in the party because their interests are broadly similar, and they believe the party is the right vehicle for them to realise their goals. Sometimes, they compete and clash, but for most part, they cooperate and form strong bond to give their party the victory in every election cycle. The party loses anytime this bond is broken,” Mr Aregbesola stated.
“What we have come to do here today is to renew our commitment to the path of progressive ideology and politics as inherited from our great past heroes, beginning from Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Bola Ige and others in the pantheon of progressive politics too numerous to mention.
Mr Aregbesola also argued that Osun people did not reject the progressives, citing the warm reception he said was accorded his tendency in the state.He said the APC lost the elections in the state over a lack of discipline.APC scribe curses traitors
