By Web News 645

A businessman and politician, Saheed Ajadi says he remains the governorship candidate of Accord Party in Oyo state for the 2023 general election.

He called on members of the party to disregard the purported primary election scheduled to hold in Accord Party in Oyo State.

In a statement, Ajadi maintained that he remained the only aspirant that acquired the party’s governorship form and was elected as the consensus candidate of the party in the state following a primary in Ibadan witnessed by the INEC and other relevant stakeholders.

The statement notes that Chief Bayo Adelabu is not a member of Accord Party in Oyo state.

He called on the party members and stakeholders to disregard the proposed primary by some people who are not members of the party as a ploy to destabilize the party in Oyo state.

He said: “I want to say this without any iota of doubt that I remain the only governorship candidate of Accord Party in Oyo State.”

“I am the consensus candidate and INEC representatives and REC were present including state officials DSS and other security operatives at the party primary in Ibadan”

“I am the only one who bought the forms for the governorship in Accord.

“I want the party stakeholders and executives to disregard claims by some people who are not members of our party”.

“They are not registered members of the party.  INEC has already recognized the bonafide and legitimate Accord party” he said.

A chieftain of the Accord Party, Alhaji Saheed Ajadi has officially declared his intention to contest the 2023 governorship election in Oyo State on the party’s platform.

He made the declaration during a press conference in Ibadan.

Alhaji Ajadi, who was the former governorship candidate of Accord in 2019, said the need for good governance prompted him to join the race again and achieve victory for the party.

The governorship hopeful while lamenting that the PDP-led government in the state had not done anything with the huge resources of Oyo State, promised to change the narrative of leadership, noting that Oyo State is richly blessed to take care of its affairs.

Alhaji Ajadi however called on the Oyo State citizens to go and get their over 700 thousand permanent voters’ cards that are currently with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC ahead of the 2023 general elections so as to make the right choices.

On the insecurity bedevilling the country, the Accord governorship hopeful said patriotism and proper training of security personnel were crucial.

Commenting on the presidential ambition of the former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Ajadi described him as the best aspirant going by what he did in Lagos when he was the governor and his track record in politics.
