Chris Imumolen, factional national chairman of the Accord Party, has said the faction’s National Working Committee (NWC) has withdrawn its support for the party’s candidate in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, ahead of the 15 August governorship election.
Mr Imumolen, a professor, said his faction had instead endorsed the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Oyebamiji.
He disclosed this on Thursday during the APC mega rally held in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to mark the end of campaign activities for the governorship election.
“As the national chairman of Accord Party, today, members of my committee are all here. We have stepped down our support for Ademola Adeleke, and today we declare our support for Ambo,” he said.
The factional chairman subsequently directed members of the party in Osun State to vote for the APC candidate.
