The Presidential candidate of the Accord Party, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has warned that the forthcoming Osun State governorship election would expose what INEC and security agencies have in store for the 2027 general election. He recently had his say after receiving the report of a seven-member committee of Accord Party stakeholders in Osun, which consulted widely on recent political developments and briefed him on the state of the party.
Urging President Bola Tinubu to ensure a level playing field in the poll, Gbenga revealed that despite his grievances against Adeleke, he would not undermine the party’s electoral chances through retaliatory politics.
He added that the future of the Accord Party in Osun would be determined by the loyalty and commitment of its members, rather than the actions of a few individuals.
His words, “Osun State election is the major off-season election before 2027. What happens would tell everyone what INEC and Nigeria security forces plan to do in 2027. The world is watching.
Governor Ademola Adeleke has obviously acted as a disloyal Party man, but I will not respond by engaging in anti-party activities in Osun. Two wrongs do not make a right.
I am a Christian. The Bible teaches that vengeance belongs to the Lord. I have no reason to pursue political revenge.
The Adeleke family is under pressure that many people do not understand. I understand some of those realities and that is why I have chosen to exercise restraint in my political response. Sometimes politicians take decisions that appear illogical.
Supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu despite the political pressure the APC has mounted against them is one such example. I am not angry with them; I pity them.
I sincerely appreciate every Accord member, elder and stakeholder in Osun State who has stood firmly with our Party and our Presidential agenda. Your loyalty, sacrifice and courage will never be forgotten or taken for granted.
The Accord Party belongs to its members. Its future would be determined by the loyalty, commitment and hard work of those who believe in its ideals. I urge every supporter in Osun to remain focused, united and mobilized for victory.”
