BREAKING: Fresh Crisis Looms As Accord Party Faction Rejects Adeleke’s Defection

A faction of the Accord Party, reportedly led by the party’s former 2023 Presidential Candidate, Professor Chris Imumolen, has sharply criticized Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s defection to the party, describing the move as a ‘back-door entry’ and declaring it ‘invalid.’

Osun State Governor had announced his defection to Accord on Tuesday, citing the crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Imumolen-led faction claims that Governor Adeleke’s move failed to follow proper party procedures, raising serious questions about the legitimacy of his reported action and his recent clearance as the sole governorship candidate.

According to TVC, party insiders claim that such a move threatens internal cohesion and could deepen existing divisions within political circles.

They say this development could have far-reaching implications, especially with elections approaching.

They warn that party realignments, if not carefully managed, could affect voter confidence and reshape political alliances in the state.
