2026: APC, Oyebamiji Poses No Threat To Adeleke – Accord Chairman
The Osun State chairman of the Accord Party, Pastor Victor Akande, has declared that the party will record victory in the August 8, 2026 governorship election.
Akande said the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate pose no threat to the incumbent Governor, Ademola Adeleke, who is the candidate of the Accord party.
The Accord chairman stated this on Thursday while featuring on News Point, a programme organised by the Osun NUJ Correspondents’ Chapel in Osogbo.
According to him, Governor Ademola Adeleke, has performed creditably in office and has demonstrated enough capacity to earn a second term.
The Accord chairman argued that Governor Adeleke’s record in infrastructure and social welfare has surpassed the APC’s governors who came before him.
“We know what that party stood for in this state. We experienced their rule, and the people rejected them completely because of the suffering and untold hardship the APC inflicted on Osun residents,” Akande said.
He added that the APC’s rejection was evident in the 2022 governorship election and predicted a repeat in 2026..
“It is clear that the people of Osun State do not want the APC again. By the grace of God, on August 8, 2026, they will hear it clearly that the APC has become a persona non grata in Osun State,” he stated.
Akande further said Governor Adeleke has transformed the state significantly, noting that his performance has exceeded expectations and would ultimately speak for him at the polls.
On grassroots mobilisation, the Accord chairman said the party has functional structures across all local governments in the state and has commenced voter sensitisation to ensure widespread awareness of its candidature.
“Accord has structures in every local government and ward. We are intensifying publicity at the grassroots and ensuring that people know Governor Adeleke is now the Accord candidate,” he said.
