The Osun State chapter of Accord has dismissed as fraudulent and an act of desperation, the purported endorsement of Osun All Prohressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, by Chris Imomulen, purportedly pretending to be the National Chairman of the party.
State chairman of Accord, Pastor Victor Akande, said members of the party in the state and the public were "highly embarrassed by the fraudulent charade involving top opposition leaders" and urged the public to disregard and dismiss the endorsement.
Akande said Governor Ademola Adekeke remains the official candidate of the Accord for the Saturday, August 15, 2026, election in the state.
He added that the move by the APC demonstrates the desperation and fraudulence of the party and its national leadership.
"In the same manner, it is an indication of the fact the APC knows of its deep unpopularity, hence its descending so low to the level of impersonating the duly recognized National Chairman of Accord Party, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem who is officially listed and recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)," he said.
He recalled that the APC had, on several occasions and fora tried to cause division between the Accord Party leadership by raising and sponsoring a parallel National Chairman of their own at the expense of the duly known and recognised chairman of the party, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem.
"The public should take note that the Accord Party and its National Working Committee still recognises Senator Ademola Adekeke as its only candidate for the Osun Governorship election.
"It is therefore shameful that the APC because of its impending defeat and daredevil wish to attain power by all means could go the route of impersonating the National Chairman of another party at their mega rally in Osogbo which was beamed live on national television.
"We are calling on democrats all over the nation and in particular Osun people not to be deceived by the fraudulent antics of AMBO, Osun APC and their Campaign Council," he said.
The party stressed that Governor Adeleke remains the man of the people, noting that his party has not endorsed any other candidate other than him.
