Ismail Kolawole Defects to Accord Party, Backs Adeleke

Ismail Kolawole, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has recently defected to the Accord Party, where he has vowed to enhance the re-election bid of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. Kolawole resigned from the APC, citing political infidelity within the party.

His official welcome into the Accord Party occurred during a meeting held in Ila Local Government Area, where he expressed loyalty and commitment to mobilizing grassroots support for Adeleke's campaign. Kolawole, a former member of the House of Representatives representing the Ila Federal Constituency, is considered a strong pillar in Iyiola Omisore's camp and is expected to leverage his influence in Ila Local Government Area to ensure Adeleke's victory in the upcoming governorship election.

Stakeholders have described Kolawole's defection as a significant boost for the Accord Party, with expectations that it will strengthen their chances in the election.
