       2026: Despite Adeleke’s INEC Recognition, Accord Party Factional
       Candidate Posters Flood Osogbo, Ife, Others
       The campaign posters of a factional candidate of the Accord
       Party in Osun State, Mr Clement Bamigbola, have surfaced in
       Osogbo, Ilesa, Ile-Ife, Iragbiji and many other towns.
       This is despite the Independent National Electoral Commission’s
       recognition of Governor Ademola Adeleke as the candidate of the
       party for the August 15 poll.
       OSUN DEFENDER reports that Adeleke on December 09, 2025,
       officially joined the Accord Party.
       Adeleke announced his decision during a stakeholders meeting
       held at the Banquet hall of the Government House in the presence
       of national and state leaders of the Accord Party.
       The day after, the governor emerged as the candidate of the
       party during its primary election held in Osogbo.
       OSUN DEFENDER gathered that after the exercise, Adeleke was
       declared candidate with 145 delegates’ votes.
       However, four days after Governor Adeleke emerged as the
       governorship candidate of the Accord party, another faction of
       the party held its own governorship primary, where Mr Clement
       Bamigbola emerged as the faction’s governorship candidate for
       the 2026 Osun State election.
       300 delegates of the Accord Party across Osun State elected
       Bamigbola as the factional party candidate during the exercise
       held at Regina Suite, Osogbo.
       He emerged after a voice vote by the delegates and the electoral
       committee. Mr Olufemi Ogundare was pronounced elected as the
       candidate of the party for the 2026 poll.
       But the camp of the governor and the factional chairman of the
       Accord party, Pastor Victor Akande, dismissed the primary that
       elected Bamigbola, noting that he was sponsored by the
       opposition and not a member of the party.
       Also, the Independent National Electoral Commission said it was
       not informed of the parallel exercise that elected Bamigbola.
       “We have monitored the only Accord Party primary a few days ago.
       The report has been submitted. INEC is not aware of any other
       party’s primary,” INEC Public Relations Officer in the state Mr
       Musa Olurode said.
       Meanwhile, the poster of the factional candidate was sighted at
       Testing Ground, Oke Baale, Uniosun way, Ogo Oluwa, Ogo Oluwa and
       Ilesa Garage.
