The Accord Party has distanced itself from a recent opposition meeting held in Ibadan, where some political groups reportedly agreed to support a single presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued by its National Secretary, Mukhtar Abdallah, the party said it was not part of the meeting and that its name and logo were used without permission.
The meeting, which included members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other groups, focused on forming a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
The Accord Party described the use of its identity as political impersonation, not a mere oversight.
“This is not an oversight; it is a misrepresentation,” the party stated, adding that it would not be forced into any alliance it did not agree to.
The statement stressed that the Accord Party remains focused on the 2027 elections with plans to field its own presidential candidate.
“The Accord Party remains focused on the 2027 general elections not as a footnote in a hastily assembled coalition,” it said.
Party leader, Professor Chris Imumolen, gave the organisers of the meeting 48 hours to explain why the Accord Party’s name was used without consent. He warned that legal action would follow if they fail to respond.
The party further declared its readiness to defend its identity and independence, vowing not to allow anyone to use its platform for political gain.
This development highlights growing tensions within Nigeria’s opposition ranks as political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 polls.
