  • The Accord Party, led by Governor Ademola Adekeke, won a polling unit associated with the campaign spokesperson.
  • The spokesperson, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has been vocal in supporting Adeleke's re-election bid.
  • The article notes past controversies involving the spokesperson, including allegations of supporter arrests.

Governor Ademola Adekeke's Accord Party secured a decisive victory at a key polling unit, the stronghold of Pelumi Olajengbesi, the spokesperson for the Imole Campaign Council. This win at PU004, St Matthew Primary School B, Ijebu-Jesa, Ward 03, Oriade Local Government Area, saw the Accord Party garner 287 votes against the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s 87.

Olajengbesi has been a prominent voice advocating for Governor Adeleke's second term. His active role in the campaign includes addressing recent controversies, such as holding serving senator Francis Fadahunsi accountable for remarks allegedly inciting violence against Accord Party supporters.

The campaign council, led by Olajengbesi, previously petitioned the National Human Rights Commission regarding the alleged unjustified arrest and transfer of Governor Adeleke's supporters to Abuja. These actions highlight the charged political atmosphere surrounding the election, with Adeleke facing 14 other candidates.

The election itself is for the governorship, with Adeleke competing against candidates including Bola Oyebamiji of the APC and Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
