Summit Opens With Strong Call for Unity, Renewed Governance, and Political Reclamation
The Southwest Integrity Summit 2025 opened in Osogbo with a compelling charge from Comrade Salam Mustapha Olamilekan, Chairman of the Integrity Group of Nigeria (Osun State Chapter), who declared the gathering “a defining moment” for the progressives in Osun and across the Southwest.
In his address, Comrade Salam emphasized that the summit marks a renewed commitment to integrity, unity, and purposeful leadership. He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to undertake a mid-term national assessment ahead of 2027, praising the President’s reforms for restoring Nigeria’s economic credibility and global standing.
Unveiling the group’s three-point agenda — Unity, Reclaim, Re-Elect — he stressed the urgent need for the Osun APC to close ranks. He appealed to leaders such as Chief Bisi Akande, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, Engr. Sola Akinwumi, and State Chairman Sooko Tajudeen Lawal to continue steering the party toward cohesion and electoral victory.
Comrade Salam vowed that the group’s 10,000 members will mobilize an extra 100,000 votes to reclaim Osun in the next gubernatorial election, describing the current administration as directionless and disappointing.
He also announced the group’s full endorsement of President Tinubu for re-election, citing his achievements in infrastructure, economic reforms, and national stability.
He concluded by urging progressives to stand firm: “Together, we shall unite, reclaim Osun, and re-elect our leader for Nigeria’s continued progress.”
The summit continues with strategic engagements geared toward strengthening the APC’s grassroots presence across the Southwest.
