The chairman of the House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee, Bamidele Salam at a primary election held in Ede, Osun State on Friday, won the Accord Party ticket for the Ede North/ Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections.
Salam, who was first elected into the House of Representatives in 2019, was reelected on the platform of the People Democratic Party in the 2023 polls.
He and six other federal lawmakers in the state, however defected into the Accord Party to join the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, who had earlier dumped the PDP at the wake of the leadership crises ravaging the party.
Emerging through affirmation at the primary election supervised by the Accord National Publicity Secretary, Joseph Omorogbe, who doubles as the leader of the team that conducted the exercise, attended by the delegates across the four local government areas under the Federal Constituency, Salam promised to do more in facilitating developmental projects to the communities under his mandate.
He also expressed readiness to work with other parliamentarians, and the executives to develop a workable security architecture and systems for the country.
