The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State has ended its electoral collaboration with the Accord Party following the August 15 governorship election.
PDP National Treasurer Diran Odeyemi made the disclosure in a statement signed by Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla in Osogbo on Saturday.
Odeyemi said the arrangement between the two parties was specifically for the governorship election and would not extend to the 2027 general elections.
He added that the PDP has begun preparations for the 2027 polls, with its candidates expected to start campaign activities soon.
Odeyemi confirmed that Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla, who currently represents Osun Central Senatorial District, remains the party’s candidate for the district in the 2027 Senate election.
He urged PDP members and supporters in the senatorial district to mobilise support for Fadeyi and work towards securing victory for the party.According to Odeyemi, the PDP deployed its political structure to support Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election bid during the August 15 governorship election, when Adeleke contested under the Accord platform.
“The agreement between the party and Accord ended with the governorship election and now the party is ready to support and work for Senator Ajagunla during the 2027 polls.“
In the Osun Central Senatorial District, Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla is our candidate and the PDP will campaign and work with him,” he said.
Odeyemi stressed that the end of the arrangement was a matter of party organisation rather than a personal dispute, noting that Accord’s Osun Central senatorial candidate, Gani Olaoluwa, remains his friend.
“The arrangement we had with Accord in Osun has ended with Governor Adeleke’s election. I have been mandated in my capacity as the PDP National Treasurer to deliver the senatorial district for the party,” he added.
Fadeyi, a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently confirmed his return to the PDP and said he had informed the Senate of his decision.
He cited the conduct of the APC’s National Assembly primary election for Osun Central as a reason for leaving the party, while reaffirming his candidacy for the 2027 Senate election.
