Accord Leaders Urge Adeleke to Clarify Political Loyalty

Two senior members of the Accord party in Lagos State, Oke Sewedo and Oladeji Oluwatosin, have called on Governor Adeleke to publicly declare his political loyalty following his appointment as the state coordinator for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 presidential campaign. In an open letter addressed to Adeleke and the party's national leadership, the leaders expressed concerns about whether a governor elected under one party could simultaneously coordinate a campaign for a candidate from a different party while the Accord prepares its own candidates for the same election cycle.

They argued that conflicting signals from Adeleke could undermine the commitment of party members and weaken voter confidence in the upcoming elections. The letter provided Adeleke with two options: to withdraw from Tinubu's campaign if he remains committed to Accord or to openly declare his allegiance to Tinubu and follow the party's constitutional procedures.

The leaders emphasized their appeal was about accountability, not personal animosity.
