The Lagos State chapter of the Accord Party (AP) has told Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, that the party is not for sale.

The State Chapter Chairman, Comrade Moses Jaguars, in a statement issued on Saturday, said certain interests within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are trying to hijack the party’s structure and ticket for their own benefit.

“These actions are driven by financial inducements and backdoor deals, not ideology or party loyalty,” he stated.

Jaguars noted that former PDP chieftain, Hashim Olawapo, is “brazenly operating and opening campaign offices nationwide under the Accord platform.

“This is not a coincidence; it is a calculated infiltration.”

He, however, stated that the Accord Party is not a dumping ground for political mercenaries or a tool for external manipulation.

“Those attempting to distort its structure for personal gain will be firmly resisted within the bounds of the law,” Jaguars assured.

According to him, Prof. Chris Imumolen still remain the National Chairman of Accord Party, because there is a valid subsisting court order in his favour.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has already acknowledged the situation and assured compliance pending final determination at the Federal High Court.

“No amount of propaganda can override the rule of law,” he asserted.

The chapter Chairman described as misleading and self-serving, the statement credited to Maxwell Mgbudem, purporting to deny any collaboration between his own faction and President Bola Tinubu.

He stated that there is “visible and well-documented evidence” to disprove the denial, noting that there are billboards across Osun State and repeated public engagements where Governor Ademola Adeleke openly aligned with President Tinubu, to support an alliance with the APC.

“These are facts in the public domain that cannot be erased by hurried press briefings,” he added.

The chapter Chairman, however, called on members of the party to remain vigilant and assured them that the integrity of the Accord Party would be defended.
