Accord dismisses factional chairman’s support for Osun APC gov candidate

The Accord Party has rejected the endorsement of its governorship candidate Ademola Adeleke by Bola Oyebamiji, the factional presidential candidate and former presidential contender of the party. Oyebamiji, who had criticized the party and declared support for his own candidate at an APC rally, is no longer affiliated with Accord, the party asserts.

Imumolen, described as a "political hireling and hustler," was dismissed as a "factional chairman" of the party, as the group maintains there is no faction within Accord. The party believes Adeleke will win the upcoming governorship election and has accused the All Progressives Congress of engaging in intimidation and violence to suppress opposition.

The Accord Party called for a fair election and international monitoring to ensure the process remains credible.
