Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and the national leadership of the Accord Party adopt President Bola Tinubu as the party’s preferred presidential candidate for the 2027 election. According to statements attributed to Adeleke’s re-election campaign spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, Adeleke and party leaders meet in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Saturday night to discuss issues affecting the party. The reports say the meeting also addressed the need for the Tinubu administration to complete ongoing infrastructure projects, including the Lagos–Calabar Coastal road and the Sokoto–Badagry highway. The sources further state that discussions covered the upcoming August governorship election, with party leadership warning against violence, intimidation, electoral manipulation, and the use of security forces against Accord Party members in Osun. They also list several national officers reported to be present, including the national chairman Maxwell Mgbudem, deputy national chairman Maryam Sale, and other senior officials and state chairmen. Legit.ng additionally frames the development as Accord Party’s final disclosure of its preferred presidential candidate ahead of 2027, but it provides less detail in the excerpt.
