Accord Party has distanced itself from its 2023 presidential candidate, Chris Imumolen, over his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of the Osun governorship election.
This is contained in a statement issued by the party’s National Chairman, Mr Maxwell Mgbudem, on Thursday in Abuja.
Mgbudem said that Imumolen’s appearance at an APC rally in Osogbo did not represent the position of the party, emphasising that Accord operated as a unified body with no recognised factions.
The national chairman labelled the use of the title ‘factional chairman’ a ‘pure delusion’, emphasising that the party remained united under a single leadership recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“Imumolen is a political hireling and hustler seeking stomach infrastructure and has no political structure that will favour his preferred candidate in the election,” Mgbudem stated.
