Adeleke’s victory cannot end Accord’s leadership crisis – Factional Chairman

The factional National Chairman of the Accord Party, Chris Imumolen, has said the leadership crisis rocking the party is a legal matter that predates Governor Ademola Adeleke’s entry into the party and cannot be resolved by the outcome of the Osun State governorship election.” Adeleke’s entry deepened the dispute Mr Imumolen said the arrival of Mr Adeleke from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord complicated an already existing leadership problem because, according to him, the governor aligned with one of the contending factions rather than attempting to reconcile the two sides.” Mr Adeleke, the Accord candidate, was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after polling 511,067 votes, defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, by 66,252 votes.
