Accord Party chairman predicts Adeleke’s victory, condemns campaign violence

The Accord Party has expressed confidence that the party’s governorship candidate in the August 15 Osun election, Gov. Ademola Adeleke, will secure between 90 and 95 percent of the votes.

The Lagos State Chairman of the Accord Party, Dele Oladeji, spoke during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.

“Gov. Adeleke’s victory is certain and our confidence is just about the total acceptance of the governor by both the voting public, members and leaders of other parties.

“They are going to vote for Adeleke because he has shown people-oriented policy.

“So, that acceptance is our assurance. Irrespective of the violence some people are perpetrating, Adeleke is winning,” he added.

Oladeji condemned reported incidents of campaign violence in the state ahead of the election.

Oladeji, who is also the Accord Party’s Lagos West Senatorial candidate for the 2027 general elections, expressed confidence of victory in the senatorial election.

“We are very optimistic because we’ve gone through the data of eligible voters in Lagos West.

“We have realised 60 percent to 70 percent of the voters are the youth. So, all we have to do is to reach out to the youth to realise that I (one of them) am contesting for this elective post.

“So, we are the highest number by demography,” he added.
