ADC collaborated with Accord to defeat APC in Osun — Abdullahi

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) worked with the Accord Party during the recent Osun State gubernatorial election to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from regaining power in the state. The ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, revealed this information to Trust TV on Monday following the election results.

Najeem Salaam, the ADC's gubernatorial candidate, received 17,180 votes, while incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party won with a substantial margin of 511,067 votes, while his closest rival, Bola Oyebamiji of the APC, secured 444,815 votes. Abdullahi explained that the ADC suspected opposition votes might be split, potentially benefiting the APC. This concern led the coalition to collaborate with the Accord Party.
