BREAKING: Osun Guber: Accord endorses Oyebamiji, withdraws support for Gov Adeleke
Imumolen said the faction’s NWC backed Oyebamiji after Accord failed to mobilise members for its own rally, deepening the party’s internal crisis.
- On Thursday, Professor Christopher Imumolen announced his faction's withdrawal of support for Governor Ademola Adeleke and endorsed All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Oyebamiji at an Osogbo rally.
- The endorsement followed the Accord Party's suspension of a Wednesday mega rally amid an internal leadership crisis; the National Working Committee recognizes Maxwell Mgbudem as chairman, rejecting Imumolen's claims.
- Osun State Accord chairman Victor Akande rejected the endorsement on Thursday, describing Imumolen as an "impersonator" and insisting the party still recognizes Adeleke as its only candidate.
- Senate President Godswill Akpabio, representing President Bola Tinubu, congratulated Oyebamiji at the rally, while the Independent National Electoral Commission cleared 16 candidates for Saturday's election.
- If elected on August 15, Oyebamiji pledged to run a people-oriented administration, backed by Progressives Governors' Forum chairman Senator Hope Uzodinma and 31 state governors in attendance.
