Accord Party Leaders Question Adeleke's Role in Tinubu's Campaign

Two leaders of the Accord Party in Lagos State, Oke Sewedo and Oladeji Oluwatosin, have urged Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke to clarify his allegiance to the party following his appointment as the coordinator of President Bola Tinubu's 2027 presidential campaign in Osun. In an open letter addressed to Adeleke and the party's national leadership, they expressed concerns that his involvement in Tinubu's campaign could negatively impact the political chances of Accord candidates in Osun and beyond as the 2027 general elections approach.

They highlighted that Adeleke won the governorship election on the Accord Party platform, raising questions about how he could coordinate a campaign for a candidate from another party while Accord prepares its own candidates. The leaders warned that this situation could weaken the party's electoral prospects and erode the support Accord candidates might gain from Adeleke's position.

They emphasized that their concerns were legitimate political questions deserving a clear response from both the governor and the party leadership.
