Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun, has formally joined the Accord party days after resigning from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Adeleke announced his defection to the Accord in a
statement posted on his social media handle on X on Tuesday evening.
“Today, we unveiled the Accord Party, our new platform for
the good people of Osun State. From Osun West to Osun East to Osun Central,
this is our party, our new platform for victory come August next year,” he
wrote.
“Today, we unveiled the Accord Party, our new platform for
the good people of Osun State. From Osun West to Osun East to Osun Central,
this is our party, our new platform for victory come August next year,” he
wrote.
The governor said the move was necessitated by the need to
continue his administration’s “delivery of good governance and democratic
dividends”, which he claimed have earned applause both locally and
internationally.
Adeleke said his welfare-focused policies are well aligned
with the Accord’s ideology of welfarism.
“We opted for the Accord Party because its mission of
welfarism aligns with our passionate focus on citizens’ and workers’ welfare.
Since I joined, I have been fascinated by the philosophy of this great party.
The primary essence of government is the welfare and well-being of the people,”
he wrote.
He welcomed the national leadership of Accord to Osun,
adding that the party must be united ahead of the 2026 polls.
“I welcome the leadership of Accord from the national level
into Osun state. You are now part of us as I am now part of you. We are united
in progress and good intentions for the good people of Osun State and Nigeria
at large,” he wrote.
“Our task is to sustain a united front as we prepare for
future elections. We have a duty to ensure inclusive leadership where the
interests of all groups are protected.
“Our party, the Accord Party, is here to take over Osun
governance and sustain the delivery of good governance in our dear state.”
Earlier this month, Adeleke resigned his membership of the PDP.
In a letter addressed to the chairman of ward 2 in Sagba
Abogunde, Ede north LGA of Osun, Adeleke attributed his exit to the crisis
within the national leadership of the PDP.
