Osun state chapter of Accord Party has clarified that one Chris Imomulen that purportedly endorsed the candidature of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Saturday’s election is an impostor.
This was contained in a statement signed by Pastor Victor Akande, State Chairman,
Osun State chapter of Accord Party.
Imomulen had attended the grand finale of the APC rally in Osogbo where he declared that Ademola Adeleke is not recognized as a candidate and that Accord Party endorsed Oyebamiji as its candidate.
It dismissed as fraudulent and an act of desperation by the APC the purported endorsement of its candidate, Oyebamiji by one impersonator, Chris Imomulen purportedly pretending to be the National Chairman of Accord Party.
“Members of the Accord as a political Party in Osun state and the public at large were highly embarrassed by the fraudulent charade involving top opposition leaders and we urge the general public to disregard and dismiss the endorsement as Governor Ademola Adekeke remains the official candidate of the Accord for the Saturday polls.
“This move by the APC goes a long way to show how desperate and fraudulent the party and its national leadership are.
“In the same manner, it is an indication of the fact the APC knows of its deep unpopularity, hence its descending so low to the level of impersonating the duly recognized National Chairman of Accord Party, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem who is officially listed and recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“It would be recalled that the APC had, on several occasions and fora tried to cause division between the Accord Party leadership by raising and sponsoring a parallel National Chairman of their own at the expense of the duly known and recognized chairman of the party, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem
“The public should take note that the Accord Party and its National Working Committee still recognizes Senator Ademola Adekeke as its only candidate for the Osun Governorship election.
“It is therefore shameful that the APC because of its impending defeat and daredevil wish to attain power by all means could go the route of impersonating the National Chairman of another party at their mega rally in Osogbo which was beamed live on national television.
“We are calling on democrats all over the nation and in particular Osun people not to be deceived by the fraudulent antics of AMBO, Osun APC and their Campaign Council.
“Ademola Adeleke is, and still remains, the man of the people as ACCORD party has not endorsed any other candidate other than him.
