The 2023 presidential candidate of the Accord, Christopher Imumolen, has declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election. Imumolen, who described himself as the national chairman of a faction of the Accord, announced his position on Thursday at the grand finale of the APC governorship campaign rally in Osogbo, the state capital.

He claimed that his faction had withdrawn its support for the incumbent governor and Accord candidate, Ademola Adeleke, and directed members of the party in the state to vote for Oyebamiji. “As the national chairman of the Accord party, with my working committee, who are all here, we have stepped down our support for Ademola Adeleke, and today we declare our support for AMBO [Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji].

“Come on Saturday, all Accord members in Osun State should go to the polling units and vote for AMBO,” he said. However, the Accord leadership recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by Maxwell Mgbudem, has endorsed Adeleke’s bid for a second term.
