Accord Party rejects the endorsement of its expelled former 2023 presidential candidate, Chris Imumolen, for APC’s Osun governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji. Accord says Imumolen has no standing in the party to influence elections and frames his support as coming from a disqualified or factional actor.
Both outlets report that Accord is distancing itself from Imumolen’s position ahead of the Osun State governorship election. Vanguard presents the development as a public separation from Imumolen’s endorsement, while the Daily Post Nigeria adds that Accord characterizes him as expelled and refers to “expelled members” in explaining why his endorsement should not be treated as meaningful. Neither outlet indicates that Accord endorses Oyebamiji or provides details on Imumolen’s stated reasons for backing the APC candidate.
In summary, Accord is directly contesting the relevance of Imumolen’s endorsement, emphasizing his lack of electoral influence and party legitimacy.
