A faction of Nigeria’s Accord Party announces it is withdrawing its support for Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke ahead of the Saturday governorship election. The party’s national chairman, Professor Christopher Imumolen, makes the declaration at an event in Osogbo during an APC governorship mega rally.
According to the reports, Imumolen says the faction has stepped down its support for Adeleke and instead endorses Ambo (Oyebamiji), the APC candidate. Both outlets frame the announcement as a formal endorsement made publicly at the rally, indicating a clear shift in political backing from the governor to the APC ticket.
While the outlets differ only slightly in phrasing—one describes the move as “withdrawing support” while the other emphasizes the “endorsement” at the mega rally—both agree on the core elements: the timing (ahead of the election), the location and setting (Osogbo at an APC rally), and the two-step message of withdrawing from Adeleke and backing Oyebamiji/Ambo.
