The attention of ARISE YOUTHS has been drawn to a laughable, poorly scripted drama paraded as a “governorship primary” by a self-styled faction of the Accord Party in Osun State, allegedly producing one Clement Bamigbola as candidate for the 2026 governorship election, barely days after the legitimate emergence of His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke as the bona fide candidate of the party.
Let it be stated clearly, unequivocally, and without ambiguity: what transpired at Regina Suite, Osogbo, was not a primary election; it was a political skit, counterfeit, contrived, and contemptuous of democratic norms.
- ACCORD PARTY HAS A LEGITIMATE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP
The Accord Party is a nationally registered political party governed by its constitution, INEC guidelines, and legally recognized national officers. Any primary election not convened, supervised, and ratified by the constitutionally recognized National Working Committee is null, void, and of no effect, no matter the noise, rented delegates, or rented venue.
You cannot reject the authority of a party’s recognized national leadership in the morning and magically derive legitimacy from the same party by nightfall. That is political witchcraft, not democracy.
- THIS IS APC’S OLD PLAYBOOK IN NEW CLOTHING
Let us call a spade a spade. This so-called factional Accord drama bears all the fingerprints of Osun APC’s politics of sabotage, the same APC that has:
Lost moral authority in Osun,
Lost electoral credibility,
Lost connection with the grassroots,
And now has lost sleep since Governor Adeleke’s political recalibration.
Unable to confront Governor Adeleke’s record of performance, people-centered governance, and mass acceptance, they have resorted to their favorite weapon: confusion, infiltration, and counterfeit opposition.
- WHY OSUN APC IS AFRAID OF GOVERNOR ADELEKE
Osun APC’s fear is not imaginary, it is existential.
They fear:
A governor whose projects speak louder than propaganda.
A leader whose popularity cuts across party lines, age groups, and communities.
A man whose second-term momentum has already taken root in the hearts of Osun people.
A political movement that has neutralized their intimidation tactics and rendered their rigging playbook obsolete.
The emergence of Governor Adeleke under a new political platform has collapsed their calculations and disoriented their war room. Hence, the rush to manufacture parallel candidates, phantom factions, and legal mirages.
- OSUN PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER FOOLS
The era when a few political merchants could sit in hotels and manufacture “candidates” is gone. Osun people are politically conscious, legally informed, and historically aware.
They know the difference between:
A popular mandate and a purchased microphone,
A lawful primary and a rented applause,
A governor at work and opposition at worklessness.
- OUR STAND AS ARISE YOUTHS
We, ARISE YOUTHS, categorically:
Reject the fake Accord primary in its entirety.
Affirm Senator Ademola Adeleke as the legitimate, widely accepted, and duly produced candidate.
Warn political jobbers and their sponsors to stop insulting the intelligence of Osun people.
Reassure our teeming supporters that no amount of political counterfeiting can stop the people’s will.
- IN CONCLUSION
When a ruling opposition begins to create imaginary rivals, it is a sign that defeat is already haunting them. Osun APC is not fighting Governor Adeleke; they are fighting their own irrelevance.
No fake primary can rewrite reality.
No faction can fracture the people’s mandate.
No amount of wuruwuru politics can stop a moving train.
Osun is moving forward.
The people are standing firm.
And history will not be distracted.

Standing with the People. Defending Democracy. Protecting Osun’s Future.
