About 150 delegates of the Accord Party have gathered in Osun State to formalise the selection of the party’s governorship candidate, with Governor Ademola Adeleke confirmed as the only contender.
Adeleke joined Accord on Tuesday evening after exiting the Peoples Democratic Party, citing internal crises as his reason for leaving.
Delegates, comprising five representatives from each local government area, were already seated at the venue, awaiting the start of the nomination process.
In a statement on Wednesday morning, Elder Ibe Thankgod, chairman of the Accord Screening Committee, said Adeleke had satisfied all requirements to participate in the party primary.
Thankgod, who also serves as the party’s national organising secretary, presented a certificate of clearance to Adeleke, praising him as a deserving aspirant for the governorship.
