Factional National Chairman and Former presidential candidate under the Accord Party, Professor Christopher Imumolen, has declared “illegal” the nomination of Governor Ademola Adeleke as the party’s Osun State candidate in the upcoming 2027 gubernatorial elections.
He insisted that the party’s authentic governorship candidate in the State is Clement Kolawole.
Imumolen said under his leadership as National Chairman, the Accord Party conducted a valid primary election that produced Kolawole as its flagbearer.
He stressed that any claim linking Governor Adeleke to the party was based on an unrecognised and illegal process.
According to him, Adeleke emerged through a faction that does not have control of the party.
