Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has joined the Accord Party, days after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party.
The governor announced this on Tuesday at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in the presence of national and state leaders of the party.
His spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, quoted his principal as disclosing that his decision is to seek re-election for a second term on the platform of the “Thumb-Up” party.
The governor said he joined the party more than a month ago.
Adeleke said, “I joined the Accord Party more than a month ago, precisely on November 6, as a platform to seek re-election in 2026. This was after weeks of consultation and deliberations with stakeholders and opinion leaders.
“Stakeholders and residents of Osun State are aware of why we are taking this important decision. We intend to pursue a second term in office on the platform of the Accord Party to complete the ongoing delivery of good governance and democratic dividends, which have been applauded at home and abroad.”
According to the governor, he opted for the party because its mission of welfarism aligns with his administration’s focus on citizens’ and workers’ welfare.
