The chairman of the Accord Party in Osun State, Pastor Babalola Akande, has described the primary election conducted by another faction of the party in the state as a sham.
osun.life report that the faction, on Sunday, elected Mr Clement Bamgbola as its candidate for the 2026 gubernatorial election.
However, said Bamgbola and members of the faction were not known members of the Accord, adding that Governor Ademola Adeleke remains the only gubernatorial candidate of the party.
Akande said, “The good people of Osun State are therefore urged to ignore these distractions, which are the handiwork of politically displaced actors who, having been repeatedly rejected by the electorate, now resort to impersonation, falsehood, and institutional sabotage in a futile bid to return to power through the back door.
“The Accord hereby puts INEC, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, and all other security agencies on notice that any gathering, congress, or primary purportedly conducted in the name of the Accord outside the officially recognised party structure constitutes an illegal assembly and an abuse of the electoral process.”
