Accord Leaders Urge Adeleke to Clarify Political Loyalty

Two leaders of the Accord in Lagos State, Oke Sewedo and Oladeji Oluwatosin, have called on Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to clarify his political allegiance following reports of 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, the leaders expressed concerns that Adeleke’s involvement in Tinubu’s campaign could undermine the electoral prospects of Accord candidates in Osun and beyond ahead of the 2027 general elections.

They emphasized that Adeleke won the Osun governorship election on the Accord platform, which they viewed as a significant milestone for the party. The leaders questioned how a governor elected under Accord could coordinate a campaign for a candidate from another party while Accord prepared its own candidates for the same elections.

They warned that this situation could weaken the party's chances and create uncertainty among voters.
