Osun Accord Chiefs Issue Ultimatum to Adeleke: Back Hashim or Face APC Realignment

Accord Party executives in Osun State have warned Governor Ademola Adeleke to publicly support Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim’s presidential bid or risk losing their endorsement ahead of the 2026 governorship contest. In a statement issued in Osogbo, the party’s Public Relations Officer and Youth Leader accused the governor of enjoying the benefits of the Accord platform while ignoring its national direction. They argued that Adeleke cannot back President Tinubu’s re-election plans and still claim loyalty to Accord. The executives insisted Adeleke must choose between bolstering Hashim’s project or facing a political realignment that could benefit the APC’s Osun candidate, Bola Oyebamiji. They stressed that no single state leader can dictate the party’s national decisions. This dispute underscores growing tensions between state-level interests and national ambitions within emerging parties as the 2027 election cycle approaches.
