Adeleke camp dismisses factional Accord leader’s endorsement of APC candidate

The Imole Campaign Council has rejected Christopher Imumolen's endorsement of Bola Oyebamiji, the APC governorship candidate, as he is seen as a factional leader within the Accord Party. The council emphasized that the officially recognized National Chairman of Accord, Maxwell Mgbudem, remains committed to Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election in the upcoming Osun State governorship election.

This came after Imumolen endorsed Oyebamiji at an APC rally in Osogbo, claiming that Accord had withdrawn its support for Adeleke and instructed party members to vote for Oyebamiji. The council accused the APC of presenting Imumolen as the party's national chairman, clarifying that Mgbudem is the recognized chairman by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Imole Campaign Council urged voters to disregard the opposition's misleading narrative and maintain their support for Adeleke's re-election.
