Governor Ademola Adeleke has been cleared to run in the Accord Party’s gubernatorial primary in Osun State.
This is coming after Adeleke, on Tuesday evening, defected to the Accord Party alongside his deputy, Kola Adewusi, and other top aides.
In a statement issued by Elder Ibe Thankgod, Chairman of the Accord Party Screening Committee, confirmed that Adeleke had been screened ahead of Wednesday’s primary.
He noted that the governor met all the necessary requirements for nomination and participation.
According to him, the committee had cleared Adeleke as the sole aspirant for the party’s governorship ticket and completed all required documentation with relevant bodies.
The statement added that the committee presented Adeleke with a certificate of clearance and described him as a worthy gubernatorial aspirant.
However, Adeleke expressed gratitude to the screening committee and party leadership, affirming his readiness for the primary and the 2026 general elections.
“I am ready for the primary and I am ready for the general elections. We are winning by God’s grace,” he said
