As the Special National Convention of the Action Alliance (AA), comes up in the first quarter of 2020 to elect its national officers, the ambition of a chairmanship aspirant on the party’s platform, Hon. Adekunle Rufai Omo-Aje got a boost through endorsement from across the country.
Omo-Aje, who is the aspirant from South West and current State chairman of the State of Osun got the surprise of his life when the Northern caucus of the AA purchased and handed over the intent form to the Ede, Osun State born aspirant as its support for his aspiration.

In addition to that, the South-East and South-South caucus under the umbrella of The Unity House Forum of The AA at Owerri meeting, Imo State also endorsed Hon Omo-Aje and Elder Chief Uchendu Anthony-Ahaneku for the offices of National Chairman and National Secretary respectively. The colourful event was held under the Chairmanship of the Forum, Hon. Ebi Michael Peretiemo, who doubles as AA State Chairman in Bayelsa State.
“The decision and resolve to support and endorse Hon Omo-Aje by our brothers and sisters from the South East and South South geo-political zones is highly commendable and appreciated by all and sundry.
“Once again, we salute our brother’s zeal to move the party forward to the next level of greatness. Together, we shall make it happen. Thank you all,” Hon. Ebi Michael Peretiemo saluted.
In his appreciation remarks in Abuja to the northern caucus for supporting his ambition and purchasing the form for him, Omo-Aje has this to say:
“I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness following the honour bestowed upon me by indefatigable Leaders and members of our great party, Action Alliance from the North. Not only did they purchased the Intent form for me to contest for the post of the National chairman of our Party, they left their affairs at home to present the form to me in Abuja. What honour could supersede this?!
“I am therefore very grateful to you all for this massive support. I thank our leader, Ugwunba Uche Nwosu, the NTTC, National Working Committee, State executives and all members of Action Alliance worldwide. I will continue to serve your interest to the best of my ability. I remain grateful.
“Action Alliance! Let the masses live!”
Omo-Aje also extended his profound gratitude to another chairmanship aspirant, Alhaji Abdul-Rasheed Baba Hassan for withdrawing from the race for him, saying, it is with great happiness and a boundless sense of appreciation that I received his withdrawal from the race of the National Chairman.

“His endorsement of my ambition to become the National Chairman of our Party is highly appreciated. Alhaji Baba Hassan saw the importance of moving the party forward under my chairmanship and had to sacrifice his ambition for this purpose by endorsing and supporting me as the next National Chairman of our party.
“The interest of AA is greater than that of anybody. As I have always promised, I will continue to deploy my best in making AA the greatest party in Nigeria. Thank you Alhaji Abdul-Rasheed Baba Hassan,” Omo-Aje assured.
