Ahead of the August 8, 2026 governorship election in Osun State, political anxiety is mounting after posters surfaced across several local government areas portraying Clement Bamigbola Kolawole as a factional governorship candidate of the Accord Party.
The emergence of the posters has sparked renewed controversy within the party, deepening internal divisions and raising doubts about the political prospects of Governor Ademola Adeleke, who recently left the Peopleโs Democratic Party (PDP) to contest the election on the Accord platform.
In a fresh turn of events, a separate faction within the party has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to nullify the purported removal of Maxwell and Ajaja as party executives. The suit, filed under case number FHC/Abj/CS/351/2026, is widely seen as likely to escalate the ongoing power tussle within the party.
Observers caution that an extended courtroom battle may erode internal unity and cast doubt on the legitimacy of the partyโs eventual candidate.
