Mgbudem Praises Adeleke’s Performance

Mgbudem addressed top party stalwarts, state executives, and national leaders. He expressed deep admiration for Governor Adeleke’s work since assuming office. “Today, we are not just unveiling a candidate,” Mgbudem stated. “We are embracing a proven performer.”

He praised Adeleke’s “exceptional work.” His positive impact spans all sectors, Mgbudem noted. These include infrastructure, education, healthcare, workers’ welfare, and rural development. “This is the brand of holistic, people-focused governance that the Accord Party stands for,” he added.

A New Political Direction for Nigeria

The National Chairman described the governor’s decision to join Accord as a significant alignment of vision and proven performance. “Accord is immensely proud to formally unveil His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke and his team,” he said. Mgbudem sees them as partners in “the new political direction we are charting for Nigeria.”

He called it a “bold statement.” It represents a “convergence of a party built on ideals and a leader who embodies competence, accessibility, and genuine service.”

Shared Values and Tangible Results

Mgbudem elaborated on the strong synergy between Adeleke’s achievements and the Accord Party’s core philosophy. “Our collaboration is built on shared, non-negotiable values,” he stated. These values include transparency, unity, and purposeful governance.

He noted that Governor Adeleke’s record in Osun State is a “living testament” to Accord’s creed. This creed prioritizes nation-building over noise, and solutions over sentiments. It also favors tangible results over empty rhetoric.

Confidence in 2026 Victory

Speaking with conviction about the upcoming election, Mgbudem issued a confident guarantee. “Therefore, let our position be clear to all,” he asserted. “The Accord Party is not merely a platform; we are a formidable machinery for victory.”

He believes the people of Osun have “witnessed and felt the positive changes.” “In 2026, they will reaffirm their mandate through the ballot,” Mgbudem confidently predicted. He stressed the party’s revitalized national structure and collective resolve. “The Accord Party will deliver His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke, for a second term,” he promised. This will allow Adeleke to “consolidate and expand the transformative work already in motion.”

Expanding National Influence

Mgbudem concluded by stating the event marked a significant expansion of the party’s national influence. He invited “all stakeholders and every Nigerian who desires a credible alternative” to join the growing movement. This movement, he highlighted, is anchored on character, competence, and clarity.
