  "account": "The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Osun State governorship election, Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, announced his acceptance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) decision to declare Ademola Adeleke as the winner, despite the party's claims of alleged collaboration between the ADC and Accord parties to defeat the APC. The APC's Directorate-General, Wole Oke, stated that the party does not agree with INEC's results and is conducting a review before making a decision. Oyebamiji expressed gratitude to his supporters and urged them to remain peaceful, while also raising concerns over violence against his campaign members. The ADC, on the other hand, denied any collaboration with the Accord party, stating that they had anticipated a divided opposition vote to help Adeleke win.",
