• Says Governor has surpassed APC’s records of 12 years

The Accord is today and tomorrow a potent, popular, winning platform for Governor Ademola Adeleke in the forthcoming 2026 gubernatorial polls, hence the obsession of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with illegal and unconstitutional thinking in their attacks against the party, spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has declared.

Responding to Hon. Wole Oke's uneducated call for the deregistration of the Accord, Mallam Rasheed mocks the lawmaker for working overtime to satisfy the emperor of Iragbiji, Mr Gboyega Oyetola, asserting that Oke has become a laughing stock in his ridiculous quest to please his new masters.

The Spokesperson lambasted the lawmaker for his degeneration into outright illegal advocacy after his realisation that Accord has become a party of victory, of triumph within a short span of its unveiling by Governor Adeleke, charging the lawmaker to embrace the negative consequences of his political betrayals and lick his wounds of rejection and isolation.

The Spokesperson who questioned the obsession of the APC hierarchy with either deleting Accord from the electoral registry or preventing Governor Adeleke from being in the guber contest wondered why the APC guber candidate is scared of facing the electorate who have made up their minds to re-elect the incumbent.

“As the APC is desperately working to financially strangulate Osun state by withholding local government allocations in the evil scheme to punish the voters into submission, it is equally plotting to destroy the ruling party in the state. That is not democracy; that is a recipe for democratic chaos.

“The APC strategy so far is built on undemocratic plots and scheming rather than contend with the electorate who have serious questions for Mr Bola Oyebamiji and the top hierarchy of the APC. If the APC is sure of its electoral potency, the party should drop the evil plot to destroy the Accord and let the fight be taken to the voters.

“Governor Adeleke has delivered in several sectors as attested to by local and international observers. In this yuletide period, Osun diaspora across the world are seeing first hand and hearing testimonies about the impressive performance of Governor Adeleke in the last three years.

“The governor has delivered across sectors with Osun emerging the best in south west on primary health care; with Osun moving from 33rd position under APC to number 7th position in NECO and WAEC ratings; with sport sector undergoing policy reform under an ongoing five star upgrade and renovation of Osogbo city stadium; with science and innovation receiving policy and implementation attention; with tractors and input support now available to farmers; with over 250 kilometres of roads constructed statewide; with over 100 billion naira pension and half salary debt paid; with close to four billion naira allocated to cooperatives and artisans financing; with ease of doing business attracting investment and booming PPP sector.

“We challenge the APC candidate to run on his party's records from 2018 to 2022 across the sectors. Governor Adeleke is running on his own records from 2022 to date. And comparing the two eras, the jury is out —Governor Adeleke surpassed 12 years of APC rule under three years.

“The citizens and residents have seen the difference between governance and maladministration. The public have tasted good governance and bad governance. We challenge Mr Oyebamiji to a policy debate. He should be ready to answer questions about his days at Osun Investment agency and as a Commissioner for Finance.

“We task the state APC to demonstrate adherence to democratic culture by stopping the quest for short cut to power, by submitting to the people at a free and fair poll; and by being courageous enough to accept the verdict of the people when by August 8th, 2026 the voters reject the APC and her candidate”, the Spokesperson posited.
