ADC Collaborates with Accord to Block APC in Osun Election
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) announced its collaboration with the Accord Party during the August 15 Osun State governorship election to thwart the All Progressives Congress (APC) from reclaiming power. Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC's National Publicity Secretary, stated that the ADC's candidate, Najeem Salaam, received 17,180 votes.
Abdullahi emphasized that the ADC's primary goal was to prevent the APC's victory, viewing the election outcome as a success despite Salaam not winning. He noted that the ADC recognized the risk of divided opposition votes favoring the APC, prompting their collaboration with the Accord Party.
However, Governor Ademola Adeleke refuted claims of any electoral agreement with the ADC, asserting that they were not part of the coalition that supported his re-election. Adeleke credited his victory to God and the people of Osun, stating he is a governor for all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.
