Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke rejects a Federal High Court judgment ordering the deregistration of the Accord Party and other political parties. Adeleke says the ruling amounts to an abuse of court process and conflicts with a subsisting order of the Court of Appeal. According to statements credited to his spokesperson, the Court of Appeal had previously directed that particular issues remain in place, and Adeleke argues the Federal High Court decision violates that appellate directive. Premium Times reports that Adeleke also frames the judgment as a threat to the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system, even as he hails a separate “court victory” connected to local government disputes. In related political reactions, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun responds by arguing that the deregistration judgment could affect Governor Adeleke’s political prospects ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election. While outlets differ in emphasis—Adeleke focuses on alleged procedural and appellate conflicts, and the APC focuses on electoral implications—both sides reference the same Federal High Court deregistration decision involving Accord and other parties.
