The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has officially joined the Accord Party, days after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Governor made the announcement on Tuesday at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in the presence of national and state leaders of the Accord Party.
Governor Adeleke also said his intention to seek for a second term on the platform of the “Thumb-Up” party, stating that he joined the party more than a month ago.
He said, “I joined the Accord Party more than a month ago, precisely on November 6, as a platform to seek re-election in 2026. This was after weeks of consultation and deliberations with stakeholders and opinion leaders.
“Stakeholders and residents of Osun State are aware of why we are taking this important decision. We intend to pursue a second term in office on the platform of the Accord Party to complete the ongoing delivery of good governance and democratic dividends, which have been applauded at home and abroad.”
Adeleke stated that he opted for the party because its mission of welfarism aligns with his administration’s focus on citizens’ and workers’ welfare.
“I welcome our party leaders into the Osun State Government House. You are now part of us, as I am also now part of you. We are united in progress and good intentions for the good people of Osun State and Nigeria at large,” he added.
