APC recruited fake Accord Party chairman to endorse Oyebamiji - Adeleke campaign

Ahead of the August 15 Osun State Governorship Election, The Imole Campaign Council of Governor Ademola Adeleke has said the Accord Party chairman who endorsed the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji, is a fake entity and an impersonator.

It said the APC recruited one Christopher Imumolen, who erroneously claimed he leads a faction of the Accord Party to endorse Oyebamiji.

The council said the officially recognised National Chairman of the Accord Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is Barrister Maxwell Obinali Mgbudem, who is solidly behind Governor Adeleke's re-election and continuity in Osun State.

"The ridiculous stage drama by the APC today shows the party is unpopular and had to recruit a fake entity to promote false and misleading narratives.

"Again, to be clear, the INEC-recognised Accord Party National Chairman Mgbudem is SOLIDLY BEHIND Governor Adeleke and will never endorse Oyebamiji.

"We urge the public to dismiss the misleading narrative pushed out by the opposition who are jittery over their impending defeat on Saturday when the good people of Osun State are committed to coming out en masse to reelect Governor Adeleke," the council said.
