Osun Election: Ex-Accord presidential candidate backs APC’s Oyebamiji

Ahead of Saturday's governorship election in Osun State, Christopher Imumolen, who ran as the Accord party's presidential candidate in 2023, has publicly endorsed Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Imumolen made his position known on Thursday, adding a new dynamic to the closely watched gubernatorial race.

Imumolen's endorsement comes from his position as the national chairman of a faction within the Accord party. This self-declared leadership role highlights internal divisions within the party and his specific alignment in the Osun contest. His support for the APC candidate suggests a strategic political maneuver ahead of the crucial vote.

The Osun governorship election is a significant event, and Imumolen's backing of Oyebamiji could influence voter sentiment. The Accord party's presidential candidate's shift in allegiance adds another layer to the political landscape as the state prepares to elect its next governor.
