The Accord Party has signaled its readiness to welcome Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as he pursues a second term. Adeleke resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) amid ongoing leadership crises and is now seeking a more stable political platform ahead of the 2026 off‑cycle governorship election.
Lagos State Chairman Dele Oladeji said the Accord Party is prepared to provide Adeleke with a viable, organized base for his re‑election bid. While the party awaits his formal declaration, Oladeji emphasized that the Accord offers a stable, “sanitized” environment free from internal wrangling, godfather interference, and structural ambiguity. He highlighted that the party has no factions or godfathers, ensuring a peaceful and dependable structure for candidates, and asserted that it is currently the best platform for serious politicians seeking office.
If Adeleke decides to join, Oladeji assured that the Accord Party would work closely with him to secure his success. This development reflects the ongoing realignment of political forces in Nigeria as parties position themselves for the 2026 elections. The Accord Party’s openness to Adeleke underscores its strategic aim to serve as a viable alternative for politicians seeking stability and organization.
As the 2026 elections approach, Nigerian parties are maneuvering to strengthen their ranks and attract high‑profile candidates like Adeleke. The Accord Party’s overture will be closely watched by political observers, as it could shape both the governor’s re‑election prospects and broader political dynamics in the country.
