Osun Governor 1 (1).webp
The Digest:

The Accord Party has officially affirmed Governor Ademola Adeleke as its legitimate governorship candidate for Osun State, declaring its primary election conducted on December 10 as lawful and transparent. The party’s National Treasurer alleged that a parallel primary was a destabilization attempt orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) using expelled members.

Key Points:
  • The primary was held on December 10 under INEC supervision with Adeleke as the sole aspirant.
  • The election featured 150 accredited delegates; Adeleke secured 145 valid votes.
  • The process was attended by INEC officials, media, observers, and security agents.
  • The party rejected a parallel primary organized by members expelled in early 2024.
  • Accord leadership accused the APC in Osun of sponsoring the parallel exercise to cause confusion.
  • The North Central Zone of the party recently affirmed confidence in the national leadership.
  • The party stated it operates under a single leadership with no factions.
In the theater of politics, the authenticity of a candidacy is often contested not just at the ballot, but in the shadow play of parallel events and disputed legitimacy.
